Two species (Razorbill and Common Guillemot) that are common breeding birds on Bjørnøya, but are rare breeding birds elsewhere on the archipelago, are also included. In addition, Dunlin is included in this group, although it is only considered a common breeding bird in some areas on the western part of Spitsbergen, and occurs more rarely elsewhere.
