A group of common murres (uria aalge) on Hornøya, an important breeding ground for auks in Norway. Printed on high quality fuji matte photo paper.
About the picture
Murres are very social auks, that breed as tight as 20 pairs (40 individuals) per square meter. Being so close together offers better protection to the eggs and chicks, since neighbors can assist in fighting off predators.
Being this tight to your neighbor is guaranteed to to cause some commotion, and we observed many murres both cozing up to their neighbors, and getting into friendly arguments with them.
I took this picture in June 2024, while spending an afternoon on the island during our visit to Vardø.
