Percebes Ganso (Género Lepas)Observ.
arnimDescripción
I noted a dozen juvenile black-backed gulls around this log, several of them actively feeding on these. I've not previously noticed any shore birds taking advantage of the large quantity of protein these logs sometimes provide. They did not return when I departed.

Some young gulls were feeding on a large log with lots of freshly arrived goose-neck barnacles. When they left due to me, these oystercatchers started wandering over. For a time they stared at the log, but then just walked past.
