Liam, I double checked myself because I knew they were Guillemots. Well we are both correct. The Common Murre and Guillemot are the same birds but in the UK/Ireland they are called Guillemots. I am a pretty good birder but never afraid to double check myself. =]

Thank you....i lost one of pictures and had to repost. I knew the Guillemot but not the others
