Snowy Surprise - This Razorbill is one early bird!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this stunning print captured by FLPA photographer Paul Sawer, we witness the remarkable return of a Razorbill to its breeding grounds in Northern Norway. Standing proudly on a snow-covered cliff, this adult sea bird flaunts its magnificent breeding plumage, ready to impress potential mates. With its sleek black and white feathers contrasting against the snowy backdrop, this Razorbill truly stands out as an avian fashionista. It seems that even winter couldn't dampen its style! As it surveys the breathtaking Varanger Fjord, you can almost hear it saying, "I'm back and better than ever!". Hornoya Island provides the perfect setting for this majestic creature's homecoming. The rugged cliffs and icy landscape create an enchanting atmosphere where nature reigns supreme. It's no wonder why these European birds choose to make their nests here year after year. As we admire this photograph, we can't help but be reminded of the resilience and adaptability of wildlife in facing changing seasons. So next time you find yourself feeling chilly during winter months or struggling with an early morning wake-up call, just think of our feathery friend here – embracing both cold temperatures and early mornings with grace!
