Guillemot egg collector

Guillemots are sea birds that nest in colonies on very high cliff ledges. Workers are needed to climb over the edge of cliffs and make their way down to the ledges to collect guillemot eggs. As well as the danger of falling from a huge height into raging seas and being smashed into jagged rocks, you will be under threat of attack from marauding guillemot birds. Chances of death are high and the pay is extremely low.
