This eagle spent at least half an hour picking over what looked like the remains of a gull - a pile of feathers, bones and sinews. The bird methodically worked from one end of the pile to the other, leaving nothing but feathers, before eventually flying off. It seemed not to notice the noise and disturbance of the ferry coming and going right beside it.
