Upright-perching Water Birds

Keywords: Alk, nesting, birdcliff, Spitsbergen

This image was taken during a boattrip to a glacier on Spitsbergen. This cliff is so high it amazed me that these birds were nesting there. Due to the movements of the boat it was not easy to get a sharp shot of these birds that were so high up.
