The UnderAuk

I've got a real soft spot for the razorbill.  

It's not showy like the puffin (that beak!), or the tystie (those feet!) and it doesn't turn up mob-handed like the guillemot.  The razorbill just gets on with being an auk. It is also (or at least so wikipedia tells me) the closest living relative of the great auk.

Splendid bird, the razorbill - picture taken at Sumburgh Head.
