Razorbill, Face On
From £32.00
A razorbill stares straight down the lens, its bill's white stripe curving like a pair of drawn eyebrows. That striped bill is the easiest way to tell a razorbill from a guillemot at a distance — up close, there's no mistaking it.

The razorbill's deep, flat-sided bill with its bold white stripe is the clearest way to tell it apart from the superficially similar guillemot at a distance. It spends almost its entire life at sea, coming ashore only to breed on steep sea cliffs and islands like the Farnes, laying its single egg directly on bare rock rather than building a nest.
