Glaucous Gull juvenile at Westhaven

A Glaucous Gull today at Westhaven feeding on a seal carcass. Despite the gull being disturbed and flying away from the carcass it did return each time, obviously it couldn't leave such a large meal. I originally found it nearby eating a dead octopus washed up after last weeks storms.

The first video at the carcass loses focus due to the low light, the second is OK and taken when brighter out on the rocks.
