Danish nature photographer Morten Hilmer has been visiting the western coast of Denmark, which is one of his favorite areas to photograph birds and landscapes.
Every spring, kittiwakes, a migratory seabird, comes to cliffs in the Thy National Park to breed. It's a stunning scene as we see in Hilmer's behind-the-scenes video below. Hilmer is well-equipped with a Nikon D5 and Nikon 180-400mm f/4 lens. If you're curious about the lens, you can check out my recent Field Test.
