Pro divers
Black guillemots are skilled divers, using both legs and wings to swim under the water and hunt for different kinds of fish.
The black guillemot can be found in the outer region of Uppland’s archipelago. They migrate to the southern Baltic Sea during the winter, and return early in the spring.
