Busy birds - having a crab for lunch - Entry for feathered friend contest, round 109
It was my first visit to Looe, a small town in East Cornwall. There is a big harbour and many boats in the area. After the long tour all I needed was a snack. Before I find a place to eat I spotted a sharp-set seagull in the distance who was having a crab for lunch.
It tooks less than two minutes to its dismemberment.
The bird literally broke the crab's legs with its beak. You can see on the pictures how easily the gull handled his victim.
A bit scary...
This sign was definitely not added there by accident:
In conclusion I want to declare that seagulls are the last birds I would feed. They are cheeky enough and adaptable to the environment.
I would like this post to be considered as an entry for feathered friend busy birds contest, hosted by @nelinoeva . Good luck to all the participants!

I love that sign warning not to feed them because of their attitude! I've even seen videos online where they even snatch a sandwich out of a persons hands! :)
Seagulls eat everything, but first time to see eating big crab. Great catch.
Yeah, they are vicious and good to warn people, cause they could be unpleasantly surprised. 😀
Do not forget to add your link in the comments of the contest post.
It is my first time seeing it eating crab as well. Thanks for reminding me posting the link @nelinoeva

They aren’t exaggerating when they say they’re vicious, we had a lovely week staying between Polperro and Looe in 21. I can remember having fish and chips down by the seafront and you could see that the gulls had a strategy. One would sit on a nearby rooftop whilst their mate would pace the pavement nearby. It’s almost as if one was signalling to the other. “Sam it’s Sarah seagull here, I’ve got a great view up here and the humans have a lovely treat for us, quick, down by the beach there’s a family there with loads of chips. Go get ‘em!”
I think it is best entry for the contest @nelinoeva because photos are beautiful and according to the topic. Best of luck.
