| 説明 | These were the only two Razorbills we spotted amongst hundreds of Herring Gulls, Scores of Puffins and hundreds of thousands of Common Murre. It would have been very easy to mistake these Razorbill for Common Murre as well, thank goodness for our able guide. This one prepares for take off. (I think his partner flew off already). Razorbills are distributed across the North Atlantic; the world population of razorbills is estimated to be at less than 1,000,000 breeding pairs, making them among the rarest auks in the world Approximately half of the breeding pairs occur in Iceland. Razorbills thrive in water surface temperature below 15 °C. They are often seen with other larger auks, such as the Thick-billed Murre and Common Murre. These birds are distributed across sub-arctic and boreal waters of the Atlantic. Their breeding habitat is islands, rocky shores and cliffs on northern Atlantic coasts, in eastern North America as far south as Maine, and in western Europe from northwestern Russia to northern France. North American birds migrate offshore and south, ranging from the Labrador Sea south to the Grand Banks of Newfoundland to New England.
