GEEAT numbers of these birds build together in the same situations, 

 on the sides of precipitous cliffs and rocks, the nests being placed 

 almost close to each other. These are made of sea-weed and grass. 



The egg, for there is only one, is white, or with a pale tinge of blue. 



Both parents sit; the period of incubation being about six weeks.
