When tens of thousands of birds nest on the same cliff face, conflicts cannot be fully avoided. But when your neighbour needs to literally trample your own bed to reach his room, shouting is soon not enough. It seems kittiwakes are permanently bickering.

Not easy to catch, a foggy day, shots that are more informative than eye-catching… Arctic tern (Sterna paradisaea, Sterne arctique). Conningham Bay, Nunavut, Canada. August 2016.
