Dancing on water

Not walking, but dancing on water. That's what these Little Gulls (Larus minutus/Dwergmeeuw) do, with unparalleled elegancy. Today I was a happy spectator of this wonder of nature. Place of action: The Dutch coast! How on earth is it possible that these birds, breeding near quiet inland lakes in Finland, winter on this rough, open and windy North Sea?
