Thank you.

We were on a boat, taking a "dolphin tour" and this happened directly in front of me - in an instant. The young gull dove in and pulled out the fish and as it began to fly away the adult flew in fast from the right and attempted to steal it but failed - all in a matter of a few seconds.

I was setup for photographing the dolphins, so I blew the exposure on this one but it was still neat to see.

Strange that the Wikipedia article doesn't mention their presence in Australia. Although not common, they're found right around Australia's northern coastline.


Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

That's a lot of action in one image. Great shot.

Thanks for sharing. it’s always very fun to read the story behind the scene of a great photograph.

Thanks, Pippan,

Hope they’re not regarded as invasive species and live happily in Australia!:-)

From the link, I found the subspecies Torresian kingfisher (external link) are found in Australia. Don’t know whether they are the birds you saw.

Ah yes, you're quite right, that is the subspecies in Australia.
