Guillemot found at Kinlochleven. There appeared to be nothing wrong with this bird so after a meal of sprats it was released. I believe that they struggle to take off from flat land - normally either launching themselves from cliffs or taking off from water- so if they land in a field or as in this case in  a village they are unable to get airborne. Despite being one of our commonest seabirds most people are not familiar with them close up. My poor sketch certainly doesn't do justice to the beautiful grey plumage which is just darker than dove grey (guillemot grey?)  .
