TitleDay 1: Helgoland, Schleswig-Holstein
The first day we explore the north side of the islands. The gannets were literally feeding right to the edge of the walking path. The other birds are much more careful, the kittiwakes keep their distance from the people, they have a spot on the steep rock. On the north side, which are more difficult to see, fulmars also breed.

TitleDay 2: Helgoland, Schleswig-Holstein
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)

TitleDay 3: Helgoland, Schleswig-Holstein
You can keep walking around and then I'll be done. Yet it will be more of the same. The most beautiful shots are of the Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) and the Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus) with their young.

TitleDay 4: Helgoland, Dune (Helgoland)
In the morning we take the ferry to Düne. The island is the resting place for the seals on the north and west side of the island. The south beach is for tourists. When we sailed there it was not yet busy. There are also quite a few sandpipers on the beach, and many lesser black-backed gulls breed in the dunes. Dune (Helgoland) and Helgoland together yielded 11 species. The highlight of the day: the Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis).
