| The Brunnick's Guillemot Colony at Alkefjellet--Mount Guillemot Vast armies of Guillemots' swarmed overhead like clouds of locusts. Beaks filled with fish on the way to their companion on the rocks, while yet more squabble and squawk all around the boat. Amidst the tumultuous sea and cacophony of noise, individual males called to their offspring daring them to take a leap of faith into adulthood A most exciting place to be. All around is life, noise and the stench of guano. Unfortunately on the day of our visit the weather was very poor, the sea was crashing against the cliff face tossing our Zodiac back and forth. Gone were the thoughts of framing that perfect wildlife shot It has been estimated that this site hold 70,000 breeding pairs of Brunnick's Guillemot! |
