cormorant and great black-backed gull (phalacrocorax carbo, larus marinus)

Another shot from the fight over the big fish. This immature great black-backed gull literally jumped on the cormorants back but didnt manage to steal this fish. At the end, one of the cormorants finally managed to swallow the entire big fish and peace returned on the water.
