EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, a bustling coastal town in Finnmark, Norway becomes the ultimate love nest for a group of stylish Black-legged Kittiwake adults. With their striking breeding plumage on full display, these elegant seabirds have chosen an early season nesting spot atop a harbour building. As the Arctic winter slowly gives way to spring, these European beauties have found the perfect urban oasis to start their families. Against a backdrop of snowy landscapes and icy seas, they create a stunning contrast with their sleek black legs and delicate white feathers. With its artificial ledges providing ideal perches for these maritime marvels, the harbour building has become an avian hotspot. These common kittiwakes from both Asian and European shores gather here to form colonies that rival any bustling metropolis! This charming scene showcases nature's resilience as it adapts to manmade structures along coastlines worldwide. From Scandinavia to North America, kittiwakes are known for choosing unconventional nesting sites like buildings and harbours. So grab your binoculars and head over to Vardo! Witness this extraordinary spectacle where wildlife meets civilization in perfect harmony. But be warned – you might just fall head over heels for these adorable feathered couples who've turned an ordinary harbour into a romantic paradise amidst snowfall kisses!
