EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by photographer Bernard Castelein, we witness a moment of triumph for a Herring gull in Zeeland, The Netherlands. With its beak firmly clasping onto an unsuspecting starfish, this feathered predator showcases both its hunting prowess and the wonders of nature. As the herring gull proudly parades its catch through the air, one can't help but marvel at the incredible diversity found within our avian friends. This Larus argentatus is no ordinary bird; it represents a fascinating branch on the tree of life – animalia, aves, charadriiformes – showcasing how evolution has shaped their behavior and feeding habits.
