Gull Vs. Eagle

Written by Pat's Papers | Tuesday, 7 September 2010 5:38 AM

As the New York Post says, “this gull’s got gall.” There’s a great photo in today’s paper of a hungry sea gull throwing caution to the wind and poaching a herring from the mouth of an eagle. The enterprising underdog used the eagle’s back to get his balance mid-flight.

The Daily Mail in London has the full series of photos, captured by wildlife photographer Paul Beastall. Beastall told the paper “I have been taking pictures of wildlife for more than 20 years and this is one of the best sights I have seen.”
