Fulmar, Gannet, Petrels and Shearwaters - The Fulmar

First seen on Sunday 30th August 2020 at Druridge Pools

Fulmars nest on the cliffs along the coast. They spend a lot of their time effortlessly gliding over the sea, often vertical, with long straight wings. Fulmars are similar to gulls, but have a very distinctive bill which looks like it's been broken and badly stuck back together, but it's designed that way, as the tube helps expel excess salt from their bodies.
