I have been afraid for this question.

I am unable to find any LS name for it, because this bird is breeding just
at one place in Germ, and that is Helligoland. The natives there are of
Frisian origin.

It's a bird of the open sea and always breeding in steep cliffs. We do not
have many of them in Germany- but the same in the Netherlands.

Greutens/Regards

Fiete.
