Razorbill – with fish! – David at the HALL of EINAR

I’ve seen hundreds of Puffins with beak-fulls of fish recently, but it’s still a rarity to watch a Razorbill fly past fully-laden with silver treasure.

Razorbills have a similar life to Puffins. They mate for life, lay only one egg a year, nest in crevices and rock holes and both males and females provide for their chicks.

I wish this pair all the luck in the world.

I'm no expert on photography, or indeed birds, but I enjoy your daily photos so I'd say yes to trying again, assuming it's not a significant entry fee.

That's so kind of you Morna. I'll be here enjoying the natural world and posting about it, don't worry. It's exactly what I did as a 12-year-old with pencil crayons and blue biro, except technology...
