Auks - English
URL: http://members.aol.com/skokholm/auks.htm

All three of the common British auk species breed on Skokholm. Razorbills and Guillemots do not breed in large numbers because the Old Red Sandstone cliffs do not provide suitable ledges for them, although the different geology of Skomer provides more suitable nesting sites. They are mainly to be found in small colonies on the cliffs on the north side of the island. All three species spend the winter months at sea and only come ashore to breed.
