Puffin has eels stolen by gull, Farne Islands, Northumberland, UK - 21 Jun 2016
This is the moment a black-backed gull showed that it was no bird brain - by stealing a puffin's dinner! Rather than go through the tough work of catching its own food the sneaky gull simply waited for the puffin to catch its fill before pouncing. The moment was caught on camera on the Farne Islands by photographer Will Nicholls. He says: "The Farne Islands is a paradise for seabirds and I have visited every year for 7 years. Occasionally, you'll see a gull swoop down and chase a puffin into its burrow that has returned with a beak full of fish to feed its young. Sometimes, the gulls manage to steal the fish from the puffin, something known as kleptoparasitism. I spotted a commotion on the island, with a lesser black-backed gull running along at full speed after a panicked puffin, searching for its burrow for safety. In seconds, the gull pinned down the puffin and snatched the sand eels straight from the puffin. The Puffin was totally unharmed, perhaps just with his pride knocked a little".

Herring gull swallows coot chick
Herring gull captures coot chick, St.James Park, London, UK - 14 Jun 2016
Call it the circle of life, but it's still pretty icky.
Wildlife photographer Ed Brown captured the fate of an unfortunate coot chick who caught the eye of a hungry herring gull in a London park on Tuesday (14 June).
He says: "I was sitting on one of the benches in St James Park watching all the wildlife on the lake when a group of coots started making warning calls. I looked round and saw this herring gull had taken one of the chicks, predictably, it was now being harassed by the adult coots and flew off towards the middle of the lake carrying the chick (chick was dead by this point) It tried to swallow it down while on the lake but actually looked to be too big, it was then it carried the chick back to land where it finally managed to eat it. I have to say that its pretty grim to watch but I also realise its the circle of life, the Gull needs to eat too."

This young bear looks as if it wants to be on Strictly Come Dancing.
Wildlife photographer Mark Sisson spotted the coastal brown bear making some funky shapes - seemingly for the benefit of a pair of nonchalant gulls.
Mark, from Newport, Shropshire, snapped the hilarious sequence in Alaska in September.
It shows the cub up on its hind legs and making a disco-friendly circular motion with its left paw - twice. Or a "special shimmy" as Mark describes it.
Bizarrely, Mark captured a European brown bear cub performing a Gangnam Style dance two years ago (Pics also supplied).

Young herring gull bites on a dummy
What A Dummy! Baby Bird Puts Pacifier In Its Beak
A young herring gull picked up a discarded dummy from the floor and kept it in its mouth before finding something a bit more appetising.
Jayne Bowen who spotted the bird while in Newquay said: "The dummy was lying on the ground when this curious bird walked over and started probing it.
"When another gull started to show an interest, the youngster quickly picked it up and walked around with it for ages. It looked hilarious so I couldn't resist taking this picture."
The herring gull is often found around the British coasts as well as inland at rubbish tips, fields, large reservoirs and lakes, especially during winter.

Baby Bird project by Gavin Parsons, Britain - Dec 2011
FULL WORDS: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/drxe
An adorable project shows the baby birds of Britain in the first days of their lives.
Wildlife photographer Gavin Parsons has worked closely with UK rescue centres to capture chicks bought in for care.
He has spent the last three years photographing some of the baby birds bought into Folly Wildlife Rescue in Sussex and the RSPCA Wildlife Rescue Centre West Hatch in Somerset.
Each year hundreds of hatchlings are bought to rescue centres either after their nests have been disturbed or when they have been mistakenly picked up by well-meaning members of the public after they have fledged.

Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) photography contest, Britain - 04 Jan 2012
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Sam Rowley / Rex Features (1530307m)
Wonderful Wetland Wildlife Caught On Camera
These incredible photos show the wonderful array of wildlife which can be found hidden in Britain's endangered wetlands.
A remarkable 200,000 waterbirds live and breed among a network of 2000 hectares of wetlands across the UK.
Ducks and dragonflies, grebes and gulls and swans and otters live side by side in Britain's fast-disappearing wetland reserves.
In winter they are joined by thousands of migratory birds, creating some of nature's most spectacular sights.
Now the inhabitants of this watery world can be seen in this amazing collection of winning entries in a photographic competition organised by The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT).
"Wetlands are extraordinarily beautiful and the UK has some of the world's best wetland sites," said Martin Spray, chief executive of the WWT.
"The quality of entries in the latest heat has been outstanding this year and the competition encourages people to get really close to some fantastic wildlife.
"Waterbirds are some of our most elegant and colourful animals and are also very photogenic."
The pictures have all been shot at the WWT's nine specialist wetland centres in the UK, where the public can get up close with wildlife and waterfowl.
The winners beat more than 2,500 entries in the autumn heat of the competition.
Categories included wetland wildlife, wetland landscapes, wildlife and people and the young photographer of the year.
The cleverly captured images include a flock of flying black and white Barnacle Geese, an inquisitive duck staring straight at the camera, a gull scratching its leg and a fluffy black necked swan.
A beautiful sunset picture, taken by Ian Cook was the winner of the wetland landscape at the Washington centre in Tyne and Wear.

The winners beat more than 2,500 entries in the autumn heat of the competition.
Categories included wetland wildlife, wetland landscapes, wildlife and people and the young photographer of the year.
The cleverly captured images include a flock of flying black and white Barnacle Geese, an inquisitive duck staring straight at the camera, a gull scratching its leg and a fluffy black necked swan.
A beautiful sunset picture, taken by Ian Cook was the winner of the wetland landscape at the Washington centre in Tyne and Wear.

Wonderful Wetland Wildlife Caught On Camera
These incredible photos show the wonderful array of wildlife which can be found hidden in Britain's endangered wetlands.
A remarkable 200,000 waterbirds live and breed among a network of 2000 hectares of wetlands across the UK.
Ducks and dragonflies, grebes and gulls and swans and otters live side by side in Britain's fast-disappearing wetland reserves.
In winter they are joined by thousands of migratory birds, creating some of nature's most spectacular sights.
Now the inhabitants of this watery world can be seen in this amazing collection of winning entries in a photographic competition organised by The Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT).
"Wetlands are extraordinarily beautiful and the UK has some of the world's best wetland sites," said Martin Spray, chief executive of the WWT.
"The quality of entries in the latest heat has been outstanding this year and the competition encourages people to get really close to some fantastic wildlife.
"Waterbirds are some of our most elegant and colourful animals and are also very photogenic."
The pictures have all been shot at the WWT's nine specialist wetland centres in the UK, where the public can get up close with wildlife and waterfowl.
The winners beat more than 2,500 entries in the autumn heat of the competition.
Categories included wetland wildlife, wetland landscapes, wildlife and people and the young photographer of the year.

Polar Bear fighting bird, Svalbard, Norway - 28 Dec 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Ole J (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)
This brave seagull heroically took on a polar bear in an epic battle of David v Goliath - and won. The ten minute encounter between bird and beast stunned onlookers as the young seagull dramatically escaped with its feathers intact. After the scrap the shame-faced half tonne bear scampered off in search of easier prey to pick a fight with. Photographer Ole Jorgen Liodden was shocked when he captured the incredible moments on film. Before the bruising encounter Ole had been happily snapping away at the Glaucous gull as it gently bobbed on the water minding his business. The polar bear appeared from nowhere and unusually, instead of hunting for its preferred prey of seals, decided to dive into the water and swim up to the bird. The bear launched a ferocious attack on the gull, by biting it on its back and following it up with a flurry of blows.
