European Shag

Bird island Hornöya in the end of Norway in the North by the Barentssea.
The nesting season is starting. But first the snow must melt away.
I spent 4 hours on the island today with my friend Timo. Sunny and windy day, the temperature was -5 degrees.
Thousands and thousands of Common guilemont where swimming in the sea and waiting for the season to start.
What a great day we had!
