Turkey’s landlocked capital Ankara, 270 kilometers away from the nearest coast, hosts nowadays a group of unexpected guests.

Flocks of seagulls squawk and squeal in the skies of the capital not accustomed to marine life. But it is not a big mystery for fish sellers.

Seagulls, as a matter of fact, hitched a ride on trucks hauling fish from the Black Sea to the capital’s fish markets.
