I'm not in anyway saying this photo isn't fake. That said; The sea gull could well be stationary if there is a headwind. So the lack of motion blur could be for real.
Except that it's flying at nearly 90 degrees to the wind direction as indicated by the waves.
Also, in that position over the flat top of the cliff, it would be sinking rapidly in the curlover if it wasn't flapping. In order to soar the lift from the cliffs in that wind, it'd need to be flying out beyond the edge.
