A gutsy Gull tries to steal from an Osprey.

My patience was rewarded after staking out this Osprey nest for a few hours when one of the Juveniles had brought back a fish she had caught and a gutsy Laughing Gull tried to take it away from her. The Osprey was having none of this except after multiple passes the gull finally got a piece that the Osprey had not eaten. I think it may have been a piece of the jaw. The sibling never batted an eye.

Canon 7D, 500 mm f/4, 1/500, f/8, ISO 400, tripod mounted using wireless remote release and live view to minimize vibrations.
