The falcon is plucking its unfortunate prey – a common gull (Larus canus) – taking care of the neck first.

Then a buzzard (Buteo buteo) shows up and chases-off the falcon, who leaves its prey behind. What follows is the remarkable revival of the gull. The brave bird gets up, stands fiercely on its feet and looks unharmed, … except for some missing feathers.

Plucked but unharmed

You must have a pretty weird idea of what “unharmed” looks like.

Not shopped. It’s just that the bird does look like that unfeathered. It’s hurt, but it’s just a little

redmartini – idiot.
it’s a shame that you don’t know what to trust these days. I believe it’s real, why bother faking it?
did the bird survive?

You can’t publish an even semi-interesting picture without someone yelling photoshop. Don’t these people have anything better to do.

That bird can’t have survived long. That’s more than just missing feathers. I agree that this is a very odd idea of “unharmed” o0
