Guillemot (Uria aalge)
The UK's coasts have many stretches of sheer cliffs where
seabirds breed and the guillemot is one of the most numerous birds
in the great 'seabird cities'. It comes to land only to nest,
spending the rest of its life at sea, where it is vulnerable to
oil spills. Dark brown and white, not as black as the similar
razorbill, it has a 'bridled' form with a white ring round the eye
and stripe behind it. |
| Photographed at the Farne Islands,
Northumberland. This is a great location to visit to see most of
our nesting sea birds. |
