A beautiful, warm, s
ummers morning saw me strolling along the Avon river in Christchurch, when I spied two gulls fighting with each other over some food .
Fights between 
birds are common. The Cathedral square has a whole bunch of birds fighting with each other over scraps of food left by 
the tourists, but this was with an intensity that I had never witnessed before. One of the gulls had the neck of the other in its beak and was hell bent on killing the other one. 
At least that was how it looked to me.
Even after the second gull tried to retreat the first ‘bully’ followed the second one and kept attacking it until one of the staff of the garden intervened and chased the bully away……
loved the last pic. with an onlooker and the shadows of the combatants as mute witness to the the whole incident. The shadows look really amazing.
