FRANCE ~Birds of Bretagne ~

...Beautiful seabirds postcard...Thanks a lot Sylvie!
A variety of seabirds can be seen close to the seaside, which is home to colonies of cormorants, gulls, razorbills, northern gannets, common murres and Atlantic puffins. Most of these birds breed on isolated islands and rocks and thus are hard to observe.

Brittany  (French: Bretagne),  is one of the 18 regions of France. It is named after the historic and geographic region of Brittany, of which it constitutes 80%. The regional capital is Rennes.
