Count the Seagulls

What a sight to behold.

I came across these thousands of Pied Cormorants roosting on a remote sliver of beach early last year.

See how many seagulls you can find…

Within 15 minutes of us arriving and observing the birds, a pair of wedge tailed eagles swooped into the enormous flock, taking out at least 3 cormorants as easily as a farmer would slice through a field of wheat.

The shoreline was littered with carcasses from previous forays – the beach a well stocked larder for two raptors fortunate enough to find it.
