Our over-wintering 1st winter Glaucous Gull that has been frequenting the Southwick Canal/Shoreham Harbour since the new year was seen sitting peacefully on the water near the Fish outlet along the coastal road...I grabbed the camera and took these through the metal fence...light was not great, but noticed that the Glauc had found a dead fish to pick at.....then the following happened!! Some of the shots are not too sharp but help tell the story of this gruesome battle..enjoy!
GULL FIGHT NIGHT!!
Here is our Glaucous Gull with his find - keenly watched by a local Cormorant
Then the attack commences......who will win this one???
Notice how the Cormorant casually watches on...and probably necked the prize as both gulls drifted off empty handed!.....click on photo's to enlarge
