Looks like a Guillemot with the light hitting the head oddly. What were you thinking of?

Dunno but I will hazard a guess at Arctic Skua.

Is this a trick question? The general consensus seems to be Guillemot. It is'nt an oiled gull or a ferall pigeon trying to catch us out?

Ok everybody. I'll settle for Guillemot. Thanks.
It just looked a bit odd to me but then I'm not very experienced at sea birds. If I had seen it on a rock instead of floating on the water I may have identified it a bit easier!
