Dag 2: Helgoland, Schleswig-Holstein

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

There is only one rock path, so the photos are again from the same path. Now I have tried to photograph more nesting birds. Today we counted 9 species in Heligoland. Best shots: the Guillemot (Uria aalge) and the Gannet (Morus bassanus). (auto-text)
