Great Black-backed Gulls are just badass!

I just witnessed an Oystercatcher getting taken down and eaten alive. As the MO seems to be with other Great Black-backed kills that I have witnessed.  They always seem to sidle up to the unsuspecting victim and without bating an eyelid pounce and annihilate.

These gulls are just badass!  I have some video footage which I will post later but for now, check out these photos.  They tell a gruesome story.
