Razorbill

About this cute Razorbill

The Razorbill is a large auk that breeds on the rocky shores and cliffs of the northern Atlantic coasts, from eastern North America as far south as Maine to western Europe, from Russia to France.

Razorbills nest in large colonies and lay their eggs on bare rock. They are thought to have an average lifespan of 13 years, but a Razorbill that was ringed in the UK in 1967 was seen in 2008, having reached the age of 41-years-old.
