It was time for gulls again. :)

animal: great black-backed gulls
location: Bomlo, Norway

Infos:
The Great Black-backed Gull, Larus marinus, is a very large gull which breeds on the European and North American coasts and islands of the North Atlantic.

This is the largest gull, much bigger than a Herring Gull and is often described as the King of Gulls. It is 61-74 cm long with a 1.4-1.7 m wingspan, the large adult males often weighing in at more than two kilogrammes.

The call is a deep "laughing" cry.

Unlike most Larus gulls, Great Black-backed Gulls are mostly carnivorous and frequently hunt and kill any prey smaller than themselves, behaving more like a raptor than a typical larid gull, though they will also scavenge. They frequently rob other seabirds of their catch. They can swallow a puffin or a small wild duck whole.

It was raining. You can see the circles that the drops create on the water surface. The waves are from our boat. This shot was taken while we were driving. :) Thanks for the comment and the :+fav: !:hug:
