EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this breathtaking print captured by the talented duo Steffen & Alexandra Sailer, prepare to be amazed as you witness a mesmerizing natural phenomenon unfold. As dusk settles over Cape Woolamai on Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia, hordes of muttonbirds make their triumphant return to their breeding colony. After spending the entire day out at sea feeding on delectable marine delicacies, these short-tailed shearwaters or yollas put on an awe-inspiring show as they gracefully soar through the sky. Against the backdrop of the iconic rock formation known as The Pinnacles, it's a sight that will leave you spellbound. But don't let their cute appearance fool you! These Australian native birds are not just here for a leisurely evening flight. They are part of a unique commercial harvest during what is known as "muttonbird season".
