Photobombing shag

Three common guillemots (uria aalge) posing in front of a white snowed in mountain, with more murres/guillemots flying in the background. It almost looks peaceful, except in the foreground a european shag (type of cormorant) is crash landing into the snow, in the most dramatic way possible.

Hornøya, Norway

I was taking a picture of this family of common murres/common guillemots (Uria aalge) posing while more auks flew by at Hornøya, when a European Shag (Phalacrocorax aristotelis) crashlanded in the snow right in front of me, creating this dramatic portrait.
