The gaivotão is the dominant large gull species of the Southern Hemisphere. It is common throughout the southern part of the South American continent and extends north along the coasts to Ecuador in the west and Brazil in the east, though it is also known as a vagrant and occasional breeder north to the United States as well. Large, with very dark black upperparts and pale yellow-green legs, this gull is easily distinguished from other gulls in its range. The gaivotão feeds on a variety of land and marine animals and also attends refuse dumps. Distribution: Southern Africa, from Namibia (Cape Cross) to Cape Province (Algoa Bay), and southern Madagascar; southern Australia and New Zealand; northern Peru and southern Brazil (São Paulo) south to Tierra del Fuego and Falkland Islands (Malvinas); subantarctic islands and Antarctica. Picture taken at the Atlantic Ocean, São Paulo Coast.
Wishing a Peaceful Blue Monday and week!

The Ocean’s High-Speed Diver: The Brown Booby - known as Atobá-pardo in Brazil, the Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster) is a master seabird of tropical waters. Easily recognized by its sharp contrast—dark chocolate-brown head and upperbody set against a crisp white belly—this pelagic hunter is built for speed and precision. Plunge-Diving Experts: They spot fish from high above and dive straight into the ocean at incredible speeds, using their streamlined bodies like arrows. Tropical Wanderers: Found across tropical oceans worldwide, they nest in colonies on coastal islands and oceanic archipelagos. Fun Fact: Their bright yellow feet and sharp, pale bill make them instantly recognizable when perched along rocky shores!

This view looks north along the open coastline of West Triopetra beach, away from the area's landmark rock formations at the southern end.
From this vantage point, the scale of the beach becomes clear. An unbroken stretch of sand runs for several kilometers toward distant coastal mountains, bordered by water that shifts from turquoise near the shore to deep blue further out. Facing the open Libyan Sea, this side of the coast reflects the wide, undeveloped character typical of southern Crete.
