Razorbill

A razorbill turns back to give me a curious stare. Yorkshire, UK. These feisty little seabirds are often mistaken for puffins when seen mid flight and are in fact members of the same family, the Auk. With small black eyes on black feathers it can be really tricky to show the razorbill’s eyes, particularly on overcast days such as this where there was no chance of a catchlight.

About the Razorbill:

The Razorbill is one of the most distinctive and commonly seen birds in the huge seabird colonies. Birds reach the breeding colonies and start to form pairs in early spring, with each pair having a single brood of only one egg each year.  The young leave the breeding colony very early, often at around only 18 days old.
