During the morning hours I tried to catch the flying birds nearby. As there is a big traffic of boats and canoes near the harbour the birds are familiar. Many yellow-legged gulls can be found here:

Many times they tried to rob the prey from each other, however there were a lot of food for them in the water, many dead fish and mussels could be seen. These two birds were chasing one another long, unfortunately a bit far from me:

There were a lot of night herons as well:
