Just a snack, maybe?, a photo from Washington, West

Photographer's Note

Photo taken today, just outside the house ... as my waterfront continues to have stories about nature daily. These gulls beat crabs and shellfish hard on the rocks, breaking them down. They must be very protective as other gulls steal parts of a prize such as this. Life drama continues. Thanks so much for viewing. David

Hello David, How lucky you are that you can observe the scenes like this so close to your home. Fantastic fight of seagull with the crab. Superb composition.

Hi David

Life and death, predators. It's a hard work for the gull. You were very close or used a long lens to get such a crop!
Decisive moment well caught!

Hello Doc

Love the drama. I have seen this in Florida as it does not take more that a few seconds for gulls to totally dismantle a crab. Tuff life even on the beaches. Nice capture of life.
