It probably protects them from predators here, because, for example, such a sea eagle does not venture into port traffic. Last but not least, it is a source of food. It&#8217;s not just an opportunity to make a living from fishing.

Many bird species can be seen at sea level in some way associated with salt or fresh water. It is a bit unusual to see Mute swans (Cygnus olor), well known to us from our Czech ponds, walking along the sea beach or wading the waters of the Helian Gulf. And of course the seagulls. I can&#8217;t imagine staying on the seashore without the cries of seagulls. We observed several species. Herring gull (Larus argentatus), Yellow-legged gull (Larus fuscus), Great black.backed gull (Larus marinus), Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), Common gull (Larus canus). Even Black-headed gull (Larus ridibundus), once a common species in our inland waters, look much more romantic above the stormy sea than above the surface of a rural pond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"jig8\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-68c03dfaea269d02f8e7ca3f3aeb6588 jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig8-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/hel\/B12A0473abtit.jpg\" title=\"Canon R5, Canon 300\/2,8 L II USM, ,, tripod : no, flash : no, Tv 1\/320s, Av 11, Exp. comp. 0, ISO 100, 25.2.2022, Poland.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/hel\/B12A0473abtit.jpg\" alt=\"Herring gull \/ racek st\u0159\u00edb\u0159it\u00fd (Larus argentatus)\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Herring gull \/ racek st\u0159\u00edb\u0159it\u00fd (Larus argentatus)<br\/>Canon R5, Canon 300\/2,8 L II USM, ,, tripod : no, flash : no, Tv 1\/320s, Av 11, Exp. comp. 0, ISO 100, 25.2.2022, Poland.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The waters of the Baltic have chosen many other species of northern ducks as their wintering grounds, which come to the Czech Republic only exceptionally.

The only steady was a constant wind that saturates the air with sea salt. This is why all the towns on the Baltic coast of the Hel Peninsula are spa resorts.

There is an old legend about it on the southern coast of the Baltic. In ancient times, Princess Jurata once lived on the seabed in her amber castle. Perkun was ordered by the sea god to punish the fisherman Kastytis, who caught too many fish from the sea. However, when she saw the fisherman, she fell hopelessly in love with him. God Perkun did not tolerate that she fell in love with a mortal. He unleashed a terrible storm to kill Kastytis. Jurata still managed to save the fisherman, but Perkun punished her to a rock on the seabed as punishment and smashed her amber lock with lightning. Since then, the name &#8220;Kastytis&#8221; can be heard in every thunder rolling over the sea. And to this day, pieces of a ruined castle &#8211; pieces of amber &#8211; are washed up on the Baltic coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5664,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5663"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5675,"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5663\/revisions\/5675"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
