This Pacific Gull was having a little bit of trouble getting the crab into the right position to swallow it. I was intrigued watching the whole process from catching the crab to finally swallowing it, with the crab fighting back at one stage by hanging on to the Gull's beak.
Now I heard this story and I Must say I was picturing a much larger crab for some reason! Great capture! Patience rewarded!
ReplyDeleteI am reminded that I ate crab the other day (yum+++) and, yes, I suspect much easier to swallow when dead!!
