I realise this almost certainly isn't an answer to your question, but for the benefit of those who may not read Chinese, the bird in the photo is a Laughing Gull Larus atricilla - second summer I think (or maybe third?).

As for the mussel species - I guess that's what it is - I haven't got a clue.

I wander can Gull's webbed "hold" something that big as claw does ? ???

It looks like we can see the gull's foot outside the shell on our side, but I wonder if it isn't trapped inside the shell-fish, the latter having closed suddenly as a survival method.

Just an idea.
