Uria aalge · Icelandic: Langvía
A penguin-like seabird packed shoulder-to-shoulder on narrow cliff ledges.
Habitat: Densely packed cliff ledges | Season: Apr–Aug
Breeds in vast, noisy colonies. Chicks leap from the cliff before they can fly, fluttering down to the sea below.
Guillemot eggs are sharply pear-shaped, so if knocked they roll in a tight circle rather than off the ledge.
