This was taken last april at Texel one of the small Islands of the Netherlands. Normally these birds live a sheltered live in some of our bigger wetlands reserves where the colonies are mainly fenced off from the public. Last year however we got lucky when some of the nests were close to a look out point. This was taken at the beginning of dawn.
I was wondering if this needed more room in front for the bird to fly into, I am not sure.....
