[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
These were our first days seing Mew Gulls and visiting the Lofoten. I like very much the seagulls and spent much time watching at them during the long sunsets of the boreal summer. And sometimes, specially the last days of our stay, the seagulls were the watchers trying to distinguish our figures through the reflections in the window. Gradually we achieved a good degree of complicity with them and they started to tolerate our presence while we were seated and calm. One of these evenings this one was standing on a group of flyings ants in breeding season and I can shoot this portrait. Canon 30D and 100-400, sitting on a rock near the sea.

Hi Carlos

Hola Carlos,
magnífica calidad del retrato,
y el toque original de las hormigas...
saludos

Muy buenas de nuevo....
Que quieres que te diga de esta gaviotilla que nos muestras, en el otro lado ya te dije algo... en este me asalta una duda que tendré que corroborar con las guias.... gaviota cana? pues se parece un montón a la tridáctila.. aunque creo que la tri tiene el ojo negro, es cierto... bueno si no esta tarde me daré una vuelta por las guias...
Un abrazo y nos vemos muy pronto.
