BRUNNICH'S GUILLEMOT Uria lomvia

PREVIOUS

A mainly arctic breeder closely related to Common Guillemot, there are several records for the UK, but most have been found dead, many twitchers had never caught up with one. This situation ended recently when a very much alive bird spent time in Portland Harbour, much to the chagrin of those of us who had travelled to Shetland, still it was a good "blocker" for quite a few years.
