30 Great Black Backed Gull

• A group of Great Black Backed Gulls is called a: Gullery / Screech / Squabble
• This is a real beautiful gull, the contrast from black back to the white head is very striking. 
• This is one of the largest gulls, it will eat puffins and small ducks in a single gulp. yikes.
• They travel with Herring Gulls.
• They will fallow humpback whales and catch the fish coming to the surface to avoid the whale. How cool is that?
• I love watching them bob up and down on the waves.  This large male was grooming himself. as if the water wasn't there.
• The tide at Digby is 27 feet.  When it was out so were the birds.
