Asleep (Phalacrocorax aristotelis and Larus tridactyla)

A Kittiwake and Shag asleep on a cliff top ledge. An amazing sight considering the cacophony of sea bird calls and behaviour of other bird species in the background. However, birds also need to rest and sleep and I found myself wanting to join them given how sleepy I felt at this stage. Must have been something to do with the sea air!!
