It's funny how a news article can make you revisit images and spot things that didn't connect at the time. This was taken a couple of years ago up in Scotland - the chick was left on it's own most of the time without a parent present - although there where other Guillies nesting on a ledge just above it. All the other shots of nesting Guillies I have from that trip and subsequent ones have an adult present, or are of larger communal nesting groups on the lower cliffs.

illustrates the idea very well, never seen a picture of a chick before

Nice to see a chick pic for a change. Only nit for me is no eyelight.
