Feathered Family Feud - Mama Gull Sounds the Alarm While Fluffy Chick Takes Cover!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by David Day, we witness a heartwarming yet comical scene straight from the avian world. Perched atop its nest on Punta Suarez, Espa ola Island, an adult swallow-tailed gull takes on the role of a vigilant sentry. With feathers ruffled and beak wide open, it seems to be shouting at something or someone off-camera. Could it be an intruder? A potential threat to its precious fluffy chick? Meanwhile, nestled cozily beside its protective parent is the star of our show – a small and irresistibly fluffy gull chick. Oblivious to all the commotion around them, this adorable ball of fluff appears unfazed as if saying "What's all the fuss about?". This image perfectly captures both sides of parenting in nature - one adult fiercely guarding their offspring while another blissfully unaware youngster enjoys life's simple pleasures. The Galapagos Islands are renowned for their unique wildlife encounters, and this moment between mother and baby bird exemplifies that extraordinary bond shared within these ecosystems. So next time you find yourself in need of some parental guidance or simply want a reminder that even birds have family dramas too - just take a peek at this delightful photograph by David Day!
