When I was at Bempton Cliffs earlier this year I managed to get views of Puffin, Razorbill and Guillemot all sitting on the same ledge. I have to say I was rather excited about this, which is more than can be said for the Guillemot, which is asleep!
You could tell who were the really keen birders on the cliffs that day, as seeing all these birds in one place is not really that common.
For the completists amongst you, the bird in the background is a Kittiwake - which in some parts of the world is called a Black-legged Kittiwake.
You can find more creatures (or possibly critters) from around the world at Saturday Critters over on Viewing Nature with Eileen.

I always feel special when I catch muliti species in the same shot :O)
that's very cool!
Fantastic!
How unusual! Must have grown up together and were just having a reunion?
Super shot Stewart!
Puffins are the most amazing looking birds! The others pale in comparison.
Have a great week-end!

Great shot Stewart..Cute Birds..nice colors..
Wow! How absolutely wonderful.
Hello Stewart!:) Good shot, and how wonderful to see all three together like this.
It is great to see all three birds together. It is a shame the Guillemot was sleeping. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
I would be extremely excited to see a Puffin! Or a Kittiwake, for that matter!
Fabulous birds all of them! Enjoy your weekend!
Wow, Stewart! Any one of these is an excellent sighting, but all three? No wonder you were excited. I hope to see any of them someday. Kudos for getting the shot.
What fine creatures. And lovely shot.
Puffins are great subjects for photographs. We don't see them where I live.
What a sweet shot!
Great shot. May I point out, with great respect, it is a Razorbill not a Razor Bill.
How awesome to see them all together. I love Guillemots - even sleeping ones!
