Description
...boobies!Precisely, Northern Gannets on Heligoland. It's their nesting season! Such beautiful birds, I wish I could make photos of them flying, but they're just too quick. They sail over the sea like small aeroplanes or pterosaurs, simply amazing.
The small ones are Common Guillemots.

That's so nice. I like how it looks like two triangles here - a sky and rock one.

I saw a whole massive flock of Gannets in Newfoundland. Most amazing sight I've seen in a long time. They got so close that I could probably reach up and touch one if it was flying my way! Wonderful shot, took me back to that day!

Yes, they are? They dive really nice, too. I saw a lot of little baby ones when I was there, too. They're adorable!

I'll definitely try, only for the lame pun! But I wish there were bigger tits around. The tits here are so small that it's hard to even identify them on a pic taken with my little cam. Maybe I should bait them with some wonder bras. o.o

No matter how you take it, every name for them is awkward. German name for them is BasstΓΆlpel, meaning basin fool. x)

I thought boobies were the ones with blue feet...?
But still awesome. They are pretty birds.

Hush, not too loud. The way I understand it, boobies are all members of the genus Sula, and until a few years ago these guys were in that genus until they got grouped out. But don't tell them, it depresses them.

My first reaction was "Are boobies german for seagulls? D:"
Really nice shot, btw. X3

Nuh, the word for seagull is MΓΆwe. Of which there are at least six species on the island, too. xD

Lol your interest for bird it's that they was flying reptiles xD
...Where boobies?

Yup, if they now could breathe fire that would make them extra awesome.

Just face it. You're going for more watched by posting pictures of boobies.
/lame joke
They are such pretty birds, though, all joking aside. Though for some reason it never hit me that gannets were a type of booby. Looking at them again, I really should have known that... *facepalm*

Strictly speaking they renamed the genus not so long ago and now they aren't anymore... leave our boobies alone, evil taxonomists! x)
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah they've been re-arranging a lot of them based on genetics now I guess.

If you just snap a shot of the colonies you get a whole conglomerate but the pics get really crowded. o.o In direct vicinity, almost stepping on each others toes all the time are these two, also Kittiwakes, Razorbills and Northern Fulmars.
