Guillemot
Deep sea diver

This little bird can dive down over 90 metres to catch its food of small fish such as sandeels, herring and sprat. Human divers would have to wear special suits at this depth!
Guillemots don’t bother with a nest but lay their eggs on cliff ledges. The egg is pear shaped and designed to roll around in a circle - so it won’t fall off the ledge!
