    The gulls preceded the gannets, once the gannets saw the gulls with fish they soon displaced them.

    Great image, really like the action you captured. Also, my son was just watching Finding Nemo in the car the other day, so I can't help but think of the gulls in that movie. Mine! Mine! Mine!

    Wholly mackerel! (Play on words intended.) Love the interaction especially the upper bird's feet seemingly pushing the second bird out of the way. a

    Nice action, I get the feeling that the gull with the fish has just stolen it and is pushing the other gull away. Thank you for sharing, Jonathan.

    Terrific action captured here. I pulled this image into PS and gave it a tighter crop which really made the image more powerful. Also gave it a little more pop with a curves adjustment.
