Common murre, also known as the common guillemot, or “lomvi” in Norwegian (scientific name: Uria Aalge).

These birds spend the majority of their life at sea, and come on land to nest on steep seaside cliffs, which offer them protection from land-predators like (arctic) foxes.

Aren’t they adorable?
