Gull eats Gull

Managed nearly two hours at my local reservoirs yesterday morning... plenty of Gulls, not much else (the amount of habitat destroyed to create new habitat is unreal; even the Kestrels have had enough, I think the Portacabins erected under their nesting tree and hunting patch was the final straw for them)

Anyway, my son was feeding the Gulls; the Black-headed Gulls getting most of the food... this young Herring Gull took exception

(No Gulls were harmed in the making of this picture... the BHG got away ;) )
