Feathered Daredevil - Northern Fulmar Masters the Art of Hang-Gliding in Windy Shetland Islands!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this awe-inspiring snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Steve Young, we witness the incredible aerial prowess of a mature Northern Fulmar as it fearlessly hangs in mid-air amidst gusts on the picturesque Shetland Islands. This seabird's flight skills are nothing short of extraordinary! With its elegant wings outstretched and feathers ruffled by the Atlantic breeze, our avian protagonist seems to be defying gravity itself. Its streamlined body and keen eyesight make it a true master of flight, effortlessly maneuvering through coastal currents. The rugged beauty of Scotland's Shetland Isles serves as an enchanting backdrop for this magnificent creature's airborne acrobatics. As spring breathes new life into these temperate lands, our fulmar friend takes full advantage, showcasing its remarkable agility against the vast expanse of sea and sky. Belonging to the Procellariidae family, this European native holds a special place in Eurasian folklore and is celebrated for its resilience and adaptability. With their distinctive cry echoing across island shores, fulmars have become emblematic figures within British wildlife. So next time you find yourself gazing at this print from FLPA Images, let your imagination take flight alongside our feathered daredevil! Marvel at nature's wonders as you envision soaring through windswept coasts with this majestic seabird – truly a testament to both
