I wondered why the birds were in such a frenzy, when I imported the image I saw why.The gull in the lower right-hand corner had caught something to eat that the others wanted.The scene is a bit raw but nature is that way sometimes.
Hi Belinda – I agree, this is a great action shot. Nature is indeed raw. It can be jarring to witness, but it’s just survival. Gulls are so aggressive, even when they are fighting for a soft pretzel on the boardwalk!
I was watching birds chasing each other away from the feeders yesterday morning: they can be surprisingly aggressive, especially now when they are collecting food for their hatchlings.

If he was he would probably do the same.

Don’t worry about it being a bit raw. We see this all the time. But we don’t always get a great photo of it like you did.

It sure is; gulls are notoriously aggressive with each other (and anyone else, too).
