Canon 1DMkII, 500 f/4 IS, f/8, 1/1250, ISO 400
The lower right gull is the same gull that was taking off with a crab in his mouth in my last post. As you can see another gull is stealing his crab from him. As much as I dislike these birds, they are fun to watch! This is at least a 50% crop.
Comments appreciated!
