闪光、飞溅,然后吃零食(Flash, splash, then snack)
优雅、强壮、不容错过——北方塘鹅是北大西洋水域最大的海鸟。它大部分时间都在公海上滑翔,回到陆地只是为了繁殖。这些海鸟以其广阔而嘈杂的繁殖群体而闻名,被称为塘鹅,它们在陡峭的悬崖、偏远的岩石岛屿和从海洋中升起的海堆上筑巢。
原文:
Graceful, powerful and impossible to miss—the northern gannet is the largest seabird on the waters of the North Atlantic. It spends most of its time gliding over open seas and returning to land only to breed. These seabirds, known for their vast and noisy breeding colonies, called gannetries, nest on steep cliffs, remote rocky islands and sea stacks that rise from the ocean.
