Description:

A group of flying gurnards glides above the water, pursued by seagulls, while a steep, rocky shore reminiscent of Gibraltar looms in the background.
The flying gurnard (Dactylopterus volitans) is a bottom-dwelling fish in the family Dactylopteridae.

The caption reads in the original German: Flughahn.
