EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this stunning snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Michael Durham, we witness a true avian fashion icon in action. Meet our fabulous feathered friend, the Black-legged Kittiwake! Sporting its striking breeding plumage, this adult kittiwake perches gracefully on its nest amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Hornoya Island in Varanger Fjord, Northern Norway. With their elegant white and gray feathers contrasting against the rugged coastal cliffs and azure waters, these kittiwakes truly know how to make an entrance. They are not your average gulls; they exude charm and sophistication that would put any runway model to shame! Nestled comfortably on a ledge overlooking the vast Atlantic sea, this stylish seabird showcases its impeccable taste in choosing prime real estate for nesting. It's no wonder why these charismatic creatures have become icons of both European and Asian coastlines. As winter transitions into spring, our fashionable fowl takes some well-deserved rest from its busy roosting routine. With their black legs dangling effortlessly over the edge of their cliffside perch, it's clear that even birds need a little downtime. So next time you find yourself strolling along a picturesque fjord or exploring coastal wonders around Northern Europe or North America, keep an eye out for these dapper darlings - they're sure to steal your heart with their timeless style and undeniable charisma!
