Between 1982 and 1991, as part of the SCR Census, a survey of the number of adult Black Guillemots was conducted prior to the breeding season (late March – early/mid May), during the first three hours of daylight (06.00 – 09.00 BST) when they congregate close inshore for courtship and mating.
Unfortunately, during the SCR census, counts of Black Guillemots in the Republic of Ireland were conducted in June and not during the pre-breeding period.

 Guillemot
Breeding: Guillemots, like many other seabirds, begin to gather at their breeding sites, well before breeding actually begins, in late May. They congregate on rocks and cliff ledges, packed tightly together in large colonies; they need to be stimulated by a noisy crowd to mate successfully.
The young guillemots leave their ledges before their flight feathers have fully grown and they are only one-third of the adult weight.
Shortly after leaving the breeding grounds, the guillemots moult, shedding all their flight feathers at once and they cannot fly until a new set grows.

 3D SPOTLIGHT - Guillemot Maxi Sound Fortissimo review

While Creative Labs was hard at work marketing their "revolutionary" AWE64, the engineers at Guillemot had something else planned for the future of the PC sound industry.
Guillemot managed to fit their powerful audio chipset, 4MB of on-board RAM which features 128 General Midi Instruments, 97 variation sounds, and 200 percussion sounds (16 drum kits) all on to a single ISA card..
Fortunately, Guillemot's daughter card does not occupy an ISA slot like the main Home Studio Pro card, instead it populates a slot cutout on the back of your case and interfaces with the main card via a short proprietary feature connector cable.
