Auks - The Razorbill

First seen on Monday 3rd June 2024 at Farne Islands

Razorbills breed on rocky cliffs. These are in summer plumage with clean lines and sharp markings. Easy to distinguish from a guillemot, as it has a broad, less pointed bill, with clear white lines running down it. Notice the bright yellow gape.
