What did you do today?

Because I sat on the floor in a car park and took pictures of birds.

Bonus, because birds are delightful and ridiculous;

The most baked-looking woodpigeon showing off his cleavage;

The same woodpigeon going full-on Naruto;

And whatever the fuck is happening here.

I never upload to this blog anymore but I wanted to share some pics bc today I had my first birdwatching boat trip and it was insane

I literally spend 3 of the 4 hours like this 😧 looking at everything LMAO, the audouin gulls specially were flying a meter away from you making direct eye contact and the number of yellow leggeds was huge... Apparently we had an incredibly good number of shearwaters (balearic, cory's and scopoli's) and they flew so so close to the boat for a really long time. I felt really emotional when I saw them hovering over the water upclose, it's so magical the way they do it. I didn't get any good pictures of them specifically but you can see them here and there in some of the photos

We also saw a European storm petrel, a parasitic jaeger (I was expecting more in number, and hopefully a long tailed but no luck; still super good views of it) and the cherry on top a 1st summer caspian gull 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I'm so so happy with the trip and I can't wait to get on a boat
