10- Northern Gannet

The Northern Gannet is the largest seabird in the North Atlantic. Gannets often perform dramatic plunge dives from high in the sky to catch fish up to depths of 20m and can stay submerged for over half a minute. They also feed from the surface on small shoaling fish like sandeels and on discards from fishing vessels, where their large size helps them out compete most other scavenging species. The Northern Gannet is endemic to the North Atlantic and most breed in Britain and Ireland. There are 21 gannetries around the British Isles, with most being on remote offshore islands and stacks, and two on mainland cliffs. Some colonies have been occupied for centuries and are large and conspicuous.

9- Roseate Tern

The roseate tern has a highly fragmented breeding range in the north-east Atlantic. Its European stronghold is the Azores (Portugal) which supports 1170 pairs, representing around 60% of the north-east Atlantic population. Elsewhere the species breeds only very locally in Britain, Ireland and France. In 1996 there were 677 pairs at the two sites in the Republic of Ireland (including 557 at Rockabill, the main colony in the British Isles since 1986), around 100 pairs in Brittany, France and 64 pairs at five main sites in the UK. It is therefore one of the UK`s rarest breeding seabirds. Although the UK population has declined greatly (from 1000 pairs in 1969 to 210 pairs in 1989), many of the birds have moved to the growing colony at Rockabill. Productivity at this colony is good and has been a major factor in the recent increase in the north-west European population as a whole. The key wintering area for birds breeding in the UK is west Africa, particularly Ghana

8- Sandwich Terns

Sandwich Terns exhibit the most erratic population trends and distribution of any seabird breeding in Britain and Ireland. The population fluctuates dramatically among years owing to large variations in the proportion of mature birds attempting to breed and distribution varies owing to mass movements of birds among colony sites.

The Black Guillemot or 'tystie' is a circumpolar species, concentrated around the North Atlantic, Barents Sea, Baltic and smaller numbers around the Chukchi Sea in northern Alaska and north-eastern Siberia. Approximately half of the Black Guillemots breeding in Britain and Ireland do so around the Northern Isles, with the remainder confined mainly to the coasts and islands of north and west Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man..

The Herring Gull has a near Holarctic distribution, breeding mainly in the middle and high latitudes. It is widely distributed around the coasts of Britain and Ireland, and prefers to nest on Rocky coastline, with cliffs, islets and offshore islands, though a range of other habitats are used including sand dunes, shingle banks and, increasingly, buildings in urban areas...

Leach's Storm-petrel is a truly oceanic species, only returning to remote island colonies under hours of darkness. It ranges widely in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In the east Atlantic, breeding colonies of Leach's Storm-petrels are confined to a few islands off the coasts of Iceland, the Faeroes and Norway, as well as on just eight remote islands and archipelagos situated along the Atlantic Frontier of Britain and Ireland....

3- Little Tern

The Little Tern is the smallest species of tern breeding in Britain and Ireland. They nest exclusively on the coast in well-camouflaged shallow scrapes on sand and shingle beaches, spits or inshore islets. Little terns do not forage far from their breeding site, which dictates a necessity for breeding close to shallow....

2- Atlantic Puffin

The Atlantic Puffin is the most instantly recognizable and popular of all North Atlantic seabirds. It breeds in the North Atlantic and the adjacent Arctic Ocean, with strongholds in Iceland and Norway, with around 10% in Britain and Ireland, where it is the second most abundant breeding seabird. Puffins are pelagic and we are still largely ignorant of how they spend their time away from the colony...

Manx Shearwaters spend most of the year at sea returning to land only to breed. They nest in burrows and under boulders, and come ashore only under the hours darkness in order to evade predators such as Great Skuas and Great Black-backed Gulls...
