Herring Gull & Crab


For most of the animal kingdom, you're either part of the hunting party or on the menu...This Herring Gull plucked a Shore Crab (carcinus maenas) from a rock pool, swam back to shore and gobbled up every single piece of it. Photo taken at the Coral Beach (An Dóilín) near An Ceathru Rua (Carraroe), west Galway this morning.
