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.
