EDITORS COMMENTS
Capture the majesty of the Kittiwake in flight with this stunning photograph by David Chapman. The Kittiwake, scientifically known as Rissa tridactyla, is a distinctive seabird native to the cold waters of the North Atlantic. In this image, the bird is shown in its element, with its wings spread wide and its sharp beak pointed towards the sky. The intricate details of its feathers and the texture of its plumage are beautifully rendered, making for a captivating display of avian grace and power. This photograph was taken in Scotland, a country renowned for its rich natural history and diverse wildlife. The Kittiwake is a common sight along the cliffs and coastlines of the Scottish islands, where they nest and feed. This particular bird appears to be flying alone, adding to the sense of solitude and freedom that is often associated with seabirds. The Kittiwake is also known by the nicknames "tickleass" or "tickleace," due to the distinctive sound it makes when it flies over the water. This evocative name adds to the allure of this magnificent creature, which is a must-see for any nature lover or bird enthusiast.
