EDITORS COMMENTS
. In the charming town of Vardo, Norway, even the birds have impeccable taste in real estate! This incredible photo captures a rare moment where an adult Kittiwake has chosen to nest on a ledge right above a window. Talk about prime location and breathtaking views! Perched high above the ground, this adventurous sea bird seems to be enjoying its cozy spot while gazing out at the stunning coastal landscape. And what better backdrop than icicles hanging from the building? It's like living in an enchanting winter wonderland! Known for their distinctive black legs and graceful flight, Kittiwakes are no strangers to coastal habitats around Europe and Asia. But finding them nesting on urban buildings is quite unusual! Perhaps this clever avian resident wanted to experience city life without sacrificing its love for nature. As we admire this remarkable scene captured by photographer Bill Coster, it serves as a reminder that wildlife can surprise us with their adaptability and sense of adventure. Who knew that windows could become sought-after nesting sites for these beautiful seabirds? So next time you gaze out your own window, keep an eye out for unexpected visitors seeking unique accommodations. You never know when you might witness nature's creativity firsthand – just like this daring Kittiwake in Vardo!
