Razorbill in flight with fish

Christopher Dodds May 31, 2022

The striking black-and-white Razorbill nests in cliffside colonies overlooking the ocean, often among murres, fulmars, puffins and kittiwakes. It uses its sharp, hatchet-shaped bill to catch fish underwater, sometimes diving to 100 meters (330 feet).

Incredibly, the oldest known Razorbill was at least 41 years old It was banded as a nestling on Bardsey Island in the United Kingdom in 1968, and was resighted while breeding in 2009.
