Herring Gulls drop clams from a height, smashing them open on the stony shore to get a meal. It seems to take 2 or 3 drops to open them. The pictures tell the story.
High drop.

Continued Reflections from my World. 
I watched the same thing over and over again with a raven and a rock in Lerwick Scotland, transfixed. A minister came out of a nextdoor church, and asked, “Why do you like ravens, they are ugly birds?” It was a rhetorical question. He already knew the answer. True beauty is often not beautiful.

Interesting Andy – that poor clam didn’t know what it hit it the first time, second, third, etc. Tom Peace, our mutual blogging friend, has mentioned how Crows and Jays will put walnuts in the middle of the road for the car to run over them, enabling them to swoop down and grab the “meat”.
