Seabirds spend most of their lives at sea. For this reason, they have developed a range of characteristics adapted to the marine environment.

In Da Nang, beaches are stopover sites for numerous species of seabirds to rest, refuel, and seek shelter during their migration.

Let’s look at different types of seabirds in stunning photos captured by our freelance photographer Huynh Van Truyen, showing how beautiful they truly are.
