Many of this seagull's fellow avians remain sitting on the gunwales of the trawler in the background, probably hoping for a feed. (They're too small to see in this reduced size image, but trust me, they're there.) However this one decided to bolt and flew toward me (and my camera) as we were taking our lunch time wander along the water edge.
I'd like to say that this shot is the result of exquisite planning, but the reality is that although I saw him swoop around the front of the trawler and then start coming toward us and fired accordingly, the actual capture was as much luck as judgement.
