Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
I'm in Orkney for the Royal Oak Memorial.
While in Scapa i always walk the beach and this year it's littered with dead birds.
I thought last year was bad with Guillemots washing up dead every day.
This year it's most peoples favourite the Puffin.
There are also lots of Razorbills
I spoke this morning with a local who was doing a dead bird count and he said this year there was a wreck of Razorbills on a beach near St Marys.
So it seems Razorbills have been hit hardest with Puffins a close second.
The only good news is there are very few guillemots.
Walking the lovely sandy beach of Scapa is heart breaking with groups of birds every few meters.
