Birds, birds, birds...


galore! Kittiwakes (shown here, click to enlarge,) puffins, sea eagles, cormorants, gulls, eider ducks, guillemots, razorbills, gannets and more were all visible during our close approach via Zodiac boats early this day. Biologists estimate that approximately 500,000 birds nest on the sea cliffs on the west side of Runde Island, and this image captures but an infinitesimally small fraction. Yes, we did get "blessed" by the birds during our photo tour.
