EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, Bob Gibbons captures the enchanting beauty of a Swallow-tailed Gull in its element. With wings spread wide and feathers glistening under the moonlit sky, this remarkable avian marvels us with its nocturnal prowess. As the only night-flying gulls in existence, these feathered acrobats defy convention and take flight when others rest their weary wings. Their unique adaptability has earned them a special place in the world of ornithology, making birdwatchers flock to catch a glimpse of these elusive creatures. With their sharp beaks designed for precision fishing, they dive fearlessly into dark waters to feast on fish and squid. This rare dietary preference sets them apart from their daytime counterparts and adds an air of mystery to their already fascinating character. Endemic to Ecuador's coastal regions in South America, spotting a single Swallow-tailed Gull is like finding a hidden treasure amidst nature's vast canvas. Its presence reminds us that even within our modern world, there are still secrets waiting to be discovered. So let your imagination take flight as you gaze upon this stunning photograph by Bob Gibbons. Let it transport you into the realm of wildlife wonders where night becomes day for these extraordinary sea birds.
