Walking close to these birds on Staple Island in June last year was a real joy. A lovely seabird in the alca family.

Wishing everyone a Happy Holiday!

The Razorbill is a bird I was very fond of when I visited their island in Scotland last year. Staple Island is an island where lots of seabirds breads. We were able to walk among them. The island was protected by park guards.

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."
