Fulmars

Fulmars look like gulls but aren’t. Look closer and they have strange adapted bills with tubes on their noses.

Their countershading colouration is perfect camouflage in the air but not on the ground.

When on the ground they protect themselves by vomiting rancid partially digested fish.

I’d better not get too close.
