The seagull in the pictures is the Great Black-backed gull (Larus marinus).
It is the largest of the gulls in Norway. It has a thick neck and a strong beak. The body is mostly white, but the wings are black. The feet are pale pink.
The Great Black-backed gull nest in the North Atlantic both on the coast of North America and in Northern Europe.
The size is 70-80 cm land, and this seagull can have a weight of about 1500-2500 grams.
The juveniles are brown-spotted and only get their adult feathers when they are 4 to 5 years old.
The pictures also show granite rocks that are quite common on the northern part of Bømlo. The white granite cliffs are beautiful to look at. The last two photos show the contrast between quiet weather and storm with large waves and foam.
