Kittiwake

Kittiwake flying past a red wooden building, somewhere in Vardø municipality in Varanger (Finnmark, northernmost Norway).

I took this picture in the spring of '24 at one of the "kittiwake hotels" in Vardø.

Here kittiwakes have taken over the town, seeking shelter from the white-tailed eagles that roam the coastline, and kittiwake hotels (boxes stacked on top of eachother) have been built to discourage the kittiwakes from building their nests on the houses.
