The Kittiwake is a very rare winter visitor of Greece. Every year, very few birds are seen, mainly due to the species preference of open seas. However, every now and then a juvenile bird chooses a harbor to rest and then it offers great views. Needless to say, such an occurence is a great event for Greek birdwatchers!
This year, a juvenile was found at the small coastal town of Stylida, very close to Lamia in central Greece. The bird was seen along with Black-headed Gulls, showing no fear and providing excellent views and shots!
