Description: | The little Auk is a Starling sized seabird that spends the summer in the high Arctic, nesting on rocky slopes in Iceland, Greenland and Svalbard. They spend most of their time at sea, catching shrimps and small fish. In the winter, they move further south, and can be found at sea off the coast of Scotland and North East England. However, they are normally only seen in extreme weather, such as heavy storms, when they are sometimes blown inshore. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals North East natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
