Description
The common seagull. Without these winged garburators, life on the coast would be a lot less pleasant, and a lot more aromatic. With a digestive system that can process a galvanized roofing nail, they are nature's ultimate beach cleaners. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

Beautiful crisp clear image! Seagulls are an interesting breed aren't they? A roofing nail? They must be related to the Billy Goat! LOL!
