All those white spots are actually guillemots. Every single one of them. That’s how infested that island is with the seabirds.

When I first shared this pic elsewhere, some idiots would inevitably say that there weren’t that many birds and that the white spots were droppings, not bothering to consider that (a) we were the ones who went there up close and personal and saw for ourselves the thousands of birds on that rock, and (b) one would have to be an idiot to think that in this pic taken later, droppings would be more visible than birds from a distance.

You can tell I’m not impressed by mansplaining idiots.
