What a nice wee guy posing perfectly. I remember PB used to post lots of wheatear!?! Also remember me misnaming them and calling the wheateaters ...still never seen one

thanks Linda. I have only seen a few, mostly at Tintagel.

Looks like he's gonna need about 500 more to call it a meal

I have never seen a gull doing it repeatedly before, just swimming along dives and grabs a crab. He did have a load of them while we watched on. It was on a tidal river, perhaps they were concentrated in the low water... I took so many photo's

Good one Snappy.... I haven't seen them catching prey rapidly, but I've often seen them swishing prey to presumably wash it
