Auks fleeing the eagles
5. April 2024
Varanger, Norway
When the white-tailed eagle gets observed at the cliff, the auks flee the scene and thousands of seabirds fill the sky.
These two razorbills, positioned on a rock below the bird cliff felt safe from the threat and remained in place, vigilantly keeping an eye on the activity above them in the sky.
During my time at Hornøya during spring 2024, I saw the murres, razorbills, puffins, and kittiwakes fly off in a panic many times, startled by the predators.
