Weltmeister & bouncing Kittiwakes

Should we become a province of Germany if we ever want to be Weltmeister... Maybe not a bad idea, as they have the strongest economy, make the best cars, and own Helgoland! Actually birding on Helgoland in july is fun, as was watching the final in Nordseehalle.

There is great activity at the birdcliffs, and the fledging Kittiwakes are most spectaculair. They do not have the feeling for level flight yet and their constant adjustments in the strong upwards winds results in a very funny bouncing flight. It must be the same feeling I experienced with my first hexacopter-flights:-)

 

Some of the Gannets have been equiped with GPS-dataloggers, a further implementation of NSA-technology in Germany.
