Murre couple
5. April 2024
Varanger, Norway
Two common murres preening eachother at Hornøya, a bird cliff in northern Norway. These are the bridled variation (also called "ringvi" in Norwegian), which have a white stripe around the eyes resembling glasses.
Bridled common murres are the same species (Uria aalge). The glasses are just a genetic variation, and are more common in northern regions.
