“A fulmar is NOT just a seagull!”
We are very passionate about our birds here at Seacoast and fulmars are one our favourites!!
Fulmar are related to albatross which we think is AMAZING and can soar for hours on the wind barely flapping their wings.
They come from a family of birds called ‘tube noses’ due to the tube-like external nostrils on the top of their bills, giving them an excellent sense of smell and the ability to drink sea water and secrete salt out of the tubes!
❤️ Watching them in flight is such a treat and listening to them cackle with their partner on the nest is really something special!
Like we said, a fulmar is not just a seagull! 😉 😉😉
