Photograph of Razorbills near Garland Stone, Skomer Island, date unknown.

The Razorbill, like the Puffin and the Guillemot is a member of the Auk family. There are around 12,000 Razorbills on Skomer, as well as smaller populations on both Skokholm and Grassholm.The birds only come to land to breed, spending the rest of their time out at sea, where they feel most comfortable.
