Beautifully captured.

Thanks a lot, George!

Fulmars are easily recognisable in flight as their wingsare straight, but they are very clumsy on landing. A lovely capture, Gudrun, particularly against the silky grey patters on the sea.

Thanks very much, Amelia! es, once you know what to look for they are quite unmistakable! I have never seen one land, that must look as funny as puffins or guillemits trying to start;-)

Two lovely images of this gorgeous looking bird in flight. They're fascinating to watch. I also like the colour of the water and the patterns on the surface.

Did you know they have a special structure on their beak which filters salt from seawater, allowing them to drink it. How clever is that?

Thank you so much, Keith! I heard about tubenoses and their inbuilt desalination plants when I visited Antartica, its a really ingenious adaption:-)

Saves carrying a water bottle ;-)))

Obrigada, Isabel!
