| Comment | Pirates of the beach - here we see a Seagull harassing a Crested Tern for its fish. Seagull are opportunistic and will have a go at almost anything for a feed. I chose this image because of strong interaction between the birds, both are sharp and the early morning light shows the lovely feather detail on both birds. | |||||||||||||||||||||
