    Default Great Black-backed Gulls with intruder

    This image was captured a few moments after my recent post of the same two adult GBBG tugging on a fish. This 1st. Winter GBBG decided to see if it could grab the fish from the two adults (think it's floating on the surface just beneath the 1st. winter's feet). In fact there were a few 1st. winter's attempting the same. This attempt was not successful. C&C welcome.

    Fantastic action image with three good HAs. EXP and details look great as well. Would also make a super vertical. TFS

    Fantastic action with 2 1/2 good head angles. I am fine with this boxy crop. What date?

    A nice interaction captured here. The pose on the Incoming bird is great.

    Thanks Artie. Forgot to attach the date. This was captured on a local lake in March of 2014 and posted then, reprocessed for this post.

    I also like the action and the processing, good DOF and sharp.

    Good interaction the the middle bird's wing spread is great.
    Color palette is a bit bland but nothing you could do about that.
    I almost wish the bird on the left was out of the frame to really get the eye to zoom in on the action,
