Kittiwake is a photographic by Zoological Photographic Club, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This photo shows a rocky cliffside with two seabirds. One adult bird, mostly white and gray, stands alert beside a nest. The other is a fluffy chick, peeking out from the nest made of twigs and grass. The background is dark and rough, with cracks and shadows on the stone. The artist was a group called the Zoological Photographic Club, which focused on nature photos. This kind of close-up shot was their specialty.
