Gull Chasing Gull
When one gull finds a snack, one or more gulls, of course, will give chase to try to snatch it. They usually have a few loud ‘words’ to say as well.
Gull Chasing Gull With Snack
It’ll require a smart aerial move to outsmart the snack possessor whose plan is to not give it up.
Maybe something like this?
“I’ll Take That”
Nope, he missed. The smarter snack possessor out-maneuvered the chaser’s attempt.
This action goes on often when they flock into the creek. Fun stuff to watch, listen, and even try to shoot. I got lucky here. 🙂

It definitely is fun watching seagulls chase each other for food. It’s equally fun to watch them play musical pilings. I am often amazed that one will approach a piling and the seagull on the piling will so willingly leave it and head to another (occupied) piling and the switch goes on and on. Very rarely do I see a ‘piling sitter’ refuse to give up his perch. They sure are entertaining!
Thanks Susan, yes they are fun to watch, especially the ‘musical pilings’ game! 😉
That second shot is priceless!
Thank you, Hien! 🙂
Excellent action shots!! 🙂
Thank you, Indira! 🙂
Nice capture of action.
Thank you, Ted!
I love the hops across the water in the first photo!
Thank you, Liz! Wish I could do that! 😉
Yes, those poor gulls. They never get to sit down a savour a meal in peace and quiet.
Thank you, Chris, no they don’t. I love their commotion on not sharing. 🙂
Great shots. Donna! The gulls have a predilection to steal food from others or among themselves. 🙂
Thank you, HJ! 🙂
” I’ll take that,” said the wanna-be thief.
To which the rightful owner replied: “Catch your own,” as he gleefully swallowed his prey.
Well said! Thank you, Tanja! 😊
Wow! Great captures Donna! Gulls are certainly entertaining. 🙂
Thanks, Sue, funny characters for sure! 🙂
When I see gulls, I think about Finding Nemo…MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE! 😆
😆 I know what you mean! Me too! 😆
Perfect timing… both by you and by the possessor! 🙂
Thank you, Tom! 😉
Seagulls are amusing creatures. They adapt perfectly, watching for the right opportunity for a fisherman to turn away and then SWOOP in! Nice post in seagulls Donna 🙂
Ahhhh, competition! Gulls are smart, you gotta watch them. I remember as a kid, one trying to swoop down and take my french fries at the beach. lol
Utterly perfect timing! It’s not ALL luck either! 😀
Thank you, Gunta! With all their acrobatic moves, I do have fun trying! 🙂
I can totally hear the gulls bickering in your photos. How impolite they are. Nice black and whites, Donna!
Thank you, Al! A secret…..I just love to hear the gulls bickering and calling! They remind me of my childhood days at the beaches and boardwalks along Delaware and Maryland. 🙂
