I saw the Black Guillemot twice while being in Iceland. Unfortunately only once there were the conditions and the distance good enough for me to take pictures. The images presented here were taken on the second time, but in a rather monotonous environment, static shots at cloudy evening (at 22). Thus not all species have the beautiful varied gallery after my photographic workshop in Iceland. Black guillemots live in colonies. Their weight is about 400 grams, with a wingspan of about 60 centimeters.

Previous monotonous pictures in the gallery of the black guillemot have been complemented with new, more interesting shots, showing the birds in flight also. Pictures were taken in the Norwegian fjords. Maybe there were not many black guillemots, but small flocks of these birds could be observed several times. So the gallery has been rebuilt.
