    first you have to find a gull actually catching a fish - not the easiest thing in the world - then you have to catch him at it ! A great shot, one to be really proud of !

    Ah, no - I'm not THAT good ;-) - I should have made it clear.
    The trawlers were in, and the catch was being cleaned and boxed, so some fish were thrown into the water for the seals! The entertainment was in watching the gulls and seals compete for the fish!
