Razorbill
Razorbill / alca torda. Bempton Cliffs, East Yorkshire. 22/06/19.
'SUN WORSHIPPER.'
It takes some decent light to show that a Razorbill is not as black as you imagine it to be. Although lacking the chocolate-brown tones of a Guillemot, it is still undeniably ... brown.
This one was allowing a tantalising peep into it's gorgeous banana-yellow mouth. I waited for what seemed an age, willing it to yawn and reveal the full beauty of it's gape.
The Razorbill had other ideas and simply slept on!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
