As with the other birds species on the beach of Genovesa, the swallow-tailed gull (Creagrus furcatus) is not at all disturbed by the humans visiting – it seems we are regarded as part of the “background noise” – a normal part of the wildlife. This call is therefore to other fellow gulls and not a distress call.
It’s plumage is of course not by chance! Whatever the function, a human can only admire it’s beauty!
