Along the shores of Lake Van, the annual migration of pearl mullets continues. During this period, nature becomes a stage for intense survival struggles as predators gather near the waters.
In the Edremit district, a rare moment was captured: a snake had caught a pearl mullet, only to face competition from a seagull diving repeatedly into the water.
The seagull’s persistent attempts to snatch the fish from the snake’s mouth highlight the fierce competition among wildlife during the migration season of the pearl mullet.
Every year between April and July, pearl mullets migrate from Lake Van to freshwater streams, swimming against strong currents to reach their spawning grounds, attracting numerous predators.
In the end, the struggle in the water ends with the seagull successfully taking the fish and flying away.
