        Only once in Europe: in the Dublin harbor!
        I love that family as a whole, I'd love to make it to the great colonies of northern Norway some day.         Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

The Razorbill

The razorbill is a colonial seabird that only comes to land in order to breed. 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.
