Extreme Bird Feeder! Dead Seal for the Gulls.

Seal Pup at the South Lighthouse

- LOL! What can I say? I like to feed the birds! Fair Isle, Shetland. I cut open a dead seal that died in a recent storm, thus so the birds can feed, plus the carcase decays faster from the beach... I follow the progress and look in regularly as a birdwatcher over 12 days, I had hope one of the few and rare carrion loving Ivory Gulls in Britain would find a meal. Yes it is sad when you see a dead Seal, but the hide is so tough that most birds can't gain access to the tasty bits. Otherwise leaving the dead seal would have bloated up and stunk, only to become a fly factory. What a great source of nutrition for wintering Gulls. Watch to the end and see one of the many Live & Well Seal pups howl at me as I get to close.                                        -
