    Its amazing how they squabble for food when theres plenty around, greedy birds lol 😆 The Crows in Hotham park do that a lot.

    Wonderful shots. I usually take some stale bread with me so I can watch the show!

    Mark, it was fun to watch. They were quite a way off and bits of bread were falling to the sea the whole time. I love the one on the left that almost stands still in mid air, and then charges!

    Lol cakkleberry reminded me of the trick i used to do at school where I would throw a bit of my sandwich up in the air and it wouldn't come back down – thanks to so nippy black-headed gulls!
