EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a gourmet feast! This glaucous gull knows how to dine in style, as it indulges in a delicious dead guillemot on the picturesque shores of Spitzbergen. With its stunning summer plumage shining bright under the July sun, this adult gull is truly a sight to behold. Feeding on carrion might not be everyone's idea of fine dining, but for this scavenging seabird, it's an absolute delicacy. As an expert scavenger and marine predator, this Eurasian beauty has mastered the art of finding tasty treats along the coastlines of Europe and Asia. With its keen eye for spotting carcasses and its impressive wingspan soaring above the waters, our feathered friend effortlessly navigates through Svalbard's archipelago in search of its next meal. And boy does it know how to make a grand entrance! Surrounded by breathtaking scenery and crystal-clear waters, this glaucous gull reminds us that even amidst nature's circle of life, there is always room for some humor. So grab your popcorn (or should we say fish?), sit back, and enjoy the show as our elegant avian entertainer puts on quite the display while satisfying its hunger. Remember folks: when life gives you dead guillemots, be like our glaucous gull - embrace every opportunity for a sumptuous seaside feast!
