A diving seabird of the auk family, found in northern oceans, with a dark back and white underparts.
The murre is a stocky seabird that nests in dense colonies on steep sea cliffs and dives underwater to catch fish, using its wings almost like flippers. Two species are usually recognised, the common murre and the thick-billed murre, both close relatives of the puffin and razorbill within the auk family. In British English the same bird is more often called a guillemot.
