Description: | The Guillemot is a small seabird that spends most of the year far out at sea. During spring and summer the birds return to the coast and breed. Guillemots like to nest on high sea cliffs, and can form huge colonies where nesting conditions are good. Most British colonies are in Scotland. Guillemots feed on fish and crustaceans that they catch by diving from the surface. They are expert underwater swimmers and can stay submerged for several minutes when diving. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
