The Razorbill (Alca torda) is a sleek, black-and-white seabird, easily recognized by its sharp, thick beak with distinctive white lines. This striking bird nests in colonies on steep coastal cliffs, where it lays a single egg directly on rocky ledges. Razorbills are strong swimmers and skilled divers, using their wings to propel themselves underwater as they hunt for fish and other marine life. Found along the North Atlantic coasts, they are an important part of marine ecosystems. Observing Razorbills provides insight into their social structure and resilience to changing ocean conditions, making them valuable indicators of environmental health.
