Breeding Area

Eiderstedt

We came upon a shared breeding area of
Black-headed Gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus/Lachmöwe)
and Arctic Terns (Sterna paradisaea/Küstenseeschwalbe).
It was difficult to take photos the parents considered
us a threat and attacked.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

I love the contrast! Good that you braved the terns to capture this image. V.

Another wonderful shot -- hope you didn't take any direct hits!!
Fascinating how all gull babies look similar -- until their final plumage appears.

Terns are bad birdies :-(

...and after all you managed to take such a lovely shot of the mother with her babies - so beautiful!
