A flock of gulls, in a food fight, outside my car door.
A great opportunity to grab a photograph of the action. Nice that I had my camera all ready at my side on the seat next to me. A simple matter to lower the window and fire off a few frames.
I like this moment, frozen by the swift shutter of the camera. Every bird has it’s own look. All eyes are on the piece of food that is in the beak of the current victor. They all had a chance at the large chunk, as they would have to tear off a piece and step aside to swallow, leaving the food for the next one of the flock to tear off their piece.
There’s always something to see, even out the car window.
Great action shot. I understand the most difficult nature photographs are those with animals attacking their prey; even if it’s a piece of bread. But especially, as in this case, when others are after the same game.
