Thank you very much, Marie-claire. He has recently arrived at the breeding area. After a few months of hunting for food and feeding babies, he will not look so good.

Yes, they are beautiful birds. At this stage they are elegant. In a few weeks, they will be joined by tens of thousands of others working desperately to bring their babies food. It is quite an ordeal for them.
