Field Notes

Description:

The black-back was struggling to get to the food as the quicker black-headed gulls kept beating him to it, snagging food and flying away in a hurry. Action pics taken close to my old campus grounds.

Thank you very much :)
Thanks Atul! I really like gulls, even if they are noisy and occasionally happen to bomb you from above (!).
great snap Elsa
haha I just saw finding Nemo the other day and the 'mine! mine! mine!' gulls were my favourite. Food was scraps from a boat!
I love how much is going on here!
