I was on my way to look for tree creepers in the woods at Lackford lakes, and while dalying to watch the azure damselflys, a young couple came past.
I thought to give them a chance to pass by the woods and allow things to settle, I'd make a little detour to a close by hide.
At about 50 yards distance there were two black headed gulls attacking an egret that was standing it's ground even though it had to duck and dodge wildly.
Being a n00b to this I had no idea what was going on, and having seen the gulls attack anything that came close to them in the past, I assumed they were just being their normal attitudy selves.
While the gulls were attacking the egret a crow appeared from behind.
Still unaware what was happening at this point I took my finger of the shutter button. Only to watch the crow through the veiwfinder pick up and fly away with the gulls single egg.
There was no sign of the tree creepers, but I did get a shot of the azure damsels though
Thanks for looking, any criticism most welcome
