Solid post, Matt! Impressive footage, stills, story-telling, music, and pacing (not bad for a “pot washer”😁). Long tele panning combined w/fast birds, a real challenge. Predation capture extra special, to say the least. Part 2 posted almost a year after part 1, a tad off-setting. I take it all parts were pre-Covid. Was gull 74’s predation just an outlier? Did 74’s tag include a micro-chip? Big appetite if the bird downs one rabbit each day. Also learned new term “pufflings”. Cheers!

Thank you so much Paul! Hahahah well not all of the footage was mine :D (credits in the description) but thank you. Yeah everything was shot in 2019 :). And yes I have taken my time getting around to it, but the concluding part (my favorite) is only a couple of weeks away :D. And no 74 was not alone. In fact the gull you saw at the end wasn't 74. That particular gull was our target because it was seen to be the most effective and regular hunter. I believe there was quite a large amount of gulls that hunted the rabbits. I believe 74 was catching a rabbit roughly every two days. Though that is not confirmed :D. Sadly I don't know many details around the tracking of the birds other than what was included in the video. Yes! Pufflings, great word :D

Whoa this is real cool, never knew gulls would eat rabbit/hares. Love your hat, you might think about getting a couple of cotter pins, insert them just in front of your ears between the hat and the band, and bend the legs down to hold them in place so the end of the pins form a loop hanging down. Get some paracord, a toggle, put the toggle on the bottom of the cord, and affix a pair of hook clasps to the ends of your paracord. Then you'll have your windstrap. Windy blustery days you can hook on your cord, and place it behind your ears, and the wind won't steal away your hat. The rest of the time you can coil it up and put it in your pocket. I'll make pictures later if you need to see it visually. :) Anyways that's your tip from across the pond. :)

@@MattGouldphotography Yeah, you definitely should. The only 2 drawbacks are that you have to use a tour provider to get there (you get 4 hours in midday, but also visit Staffa, which is just as awesome, especially when the flowers are blooming). And that there is way too much to photograph, since almost every seabird nests there. By the way, one more thing that I learned too late. In the city centre of Oban there is a small colony of black guillemots, they nest in drainage pipes and are totally unafraid of people.

Great bit of predation behaviour. Similar happens on Beachy Head but crows on rabbit. They start by picking their target and blinding it, from there they can spend up to an hour killing it before the dismemberment begins. I’ve often seen kids in tears there but I always find it fascinating to watch. It probably happens elsewhere but it is the only place I have seen this so regularly. I can only guess the crows have discovered a valuable food source and learnt to take full advantage of it.

A couple of years ago, I captured a great white egret with a duckling in its beak. I photographed most of it and posted pics, and everyone was aghast. A lot of people do not want to witness real-life behavior, and I remember feeling bad for the duckling, but I was also thrilled to have seen it firsthand. I'd do it again, and in fact, I did, just a few months ago, when I saw a crested caracara fight off a turkey vulture for roadkill rabbit, then fly off with it.

I've watched them many a time diving next to pier stantions and scrabbling down to reach large starfish. They bring them up and beat them until each leg comes off. Others watch and soon pick up the behaviour. I've also saw one last summer following dogs around and greedily gulping up their poo as they went. Literally following them around waiting. But here is a few examples I remember from nature programmes several years ago which are here on utube as clips. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5fJeIFrhL52fLs kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2i9imqbaL2re7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/amOogpaMaZuEjbM They also readily take on pidgeons. Ice creams and I have had a pasty pinched over my shoulder and it was off with it. Anyway have a look at these clips. Particularly the bats. This clip made it in to the news. They were going to cull it to stop it but were prevented from doing so because it was deemed that as both species had been around for hundreds of years that this must be normal.
