Razorbill

Superficially similar to the Guillemot, the Razorbill gets its name from a flattened, razor like bill. There are a lot fewer Razorbills than Guillemots on the Farnes. They breed in loosely packed colonies and can often found in pairs or as single birds. Again,  they present a photographic challenge, with a black eye, set within a black face.

I particularly like the next set of images of a Razorbill that landed, with fish in it's beak, and then waddled towards me, seeming to pose at it went.
