Pictures of Flying Birds

Taken Around Spitsbergen (2007)

Always challenge, in particular with a camera whose autofocus isn't the fastest! You can get a larger version of an image by clicking on it.



Fulmars (Eissturmvoegel) followed the ship all the time, giving numerous opportunities to take pictures of them. These are my personal favourites.

Arctic terns (Kuestenseeschwalben) - what a subject! Just some of my favourites.
