Razorbills Around The Coast And Waters On Visit To The North West Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K wildlife camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of Razorbill birds on the cliffs around the coast and waters on visit and trip to the North West Scottish Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Razorbills belong to the same family as puffins and guillemots, the auk family. Like puffins and guillemots, a razorbill’s favourite food is fish. The best time to see razorbills seabirds is March to July, when they join other seabirds to breed on cliffs, most commonly in the north of Scotland. The last great auk in Scotland was killed on Stac an Armin, St. Kilda, in 1840, where three islanders captured the bird and kept it alive for three days. When the weather deteriorated, they were convinced the auk was responsible, and killed it, believing it to be a witch. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
