Razorbill

The razorbill is a medium-sized seabird. It is black above and white below. It has a thick black beak which is deep and blunt, unlike the thinner bill of the similar guillemot. It breeds around the coast of the UK on rocky cliffs and among boulder scree, with the largest colonies in northern Scotland. Birds only come to shore to breed, and winter in the northern Atlantic. The future of this species is inextricably linked to the health of the marine environment.
When to see this species : Spring, Summer
