This video is stunning footage of a ship at sea, being tossed around by towering waves. Meanwhile, seabirds soar past, delighted at the gale-force winds that keep them aloft. I know you only get a quick glimpse of them, but can any of you identify the birds?
First: SCARY.
Second: I'm hopeless telling the various kinds of gulls and terns apart...
They look like Northern Gannets to me, Grrl. What do you think?
Forgot: is Maniraptora: Tastes Like Chicken down for some reason?
Yes, I agree, Northern Gannets. Angled wings with black tips.
I'm pleased you agree, Adrian; it's a species I've never seen in life.
Storm? Where was the driving rain, the lowering clouds? Looked more like a typical day in the North Atlantic, with maybe a few storm driven swells from far away. Dramatic music too.
