GUILLEMOT // URIA AALGE (40-42cm)
ROBUST AND FAMILIAR SEABIRD, best know for its large and densely packed cliff breeding colonies, seen at Skomer Island, Swims well and dives frequently. It flies on whirring wingbeats, and the relatively narrow wings are also used when swimming underwater . The voice is amazing, utters nasal, growling calls at the breeding colonies. Suffers badly during oil spills, many years ago I took 13 oiled birds, in a short period, from the sea wall at Reculvers, Kent, to be cleaned at the Observatory at Sandwich.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
THANK YOU for your visit, love reading your kind comments, please do stay safe, God bless....
