[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla). A very small and grazile gull.
This one is just starting from a short dive in a turbulent sea with strong wind.
German: Dreizehenmöve
French: Mouette tridactyle

The Kittiwake is the most numerous gull in the world with about 7 million pairs. It is found in polar and temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere where it breeds in large colonies during the summer while it spends all winter without touching land in the middle of the northern oceans.

Hi Pierre

I really like this picture. Excellent moment and the atmosphere in the picture is very suggestive of the conditions in northern seas. The gull looks superb as well!
