About Razorbill on wiki
quote: "This agile bird chooses one partner for life; females lay one egg per year. Razorbills nest along coastal cliffs in enclosed or slightly exposed crevices. The parents spend equal amounts of time incubating. Once the chick has hatched, the parents take turns foraging for their young and sometimes fly long distances before finding prey."

    Vilka härliga bilder!
    Fågeln har jag så klart aldrig sett tidigare. Den ser lite lustig ut faktiskt. :)

    Kul att du gillade min headerbild på rödstjärten! Den fick bli mitt bidrag idag, ja fågeln inte headern!
