- This clip shows an Oystercatcher and then some of the wildfowl at Woolston Eyes, followed by a Lesser Black-backed Gull which caught a Black-headed Gull in flight before killing it.
A good example on how these gulls can viciously hunt. Coming in to seriously wound their prey before moving off to let it die so they save energy (likely to prepare themselves to defend the kill later) and once dead they return to feast and fight amongst eachother.
Wtf are you talking about that bird was very normal and sent of the seagull I think you are daydreaming.
Sometimes you see gulls of the same species engage in combat where they go for each other's head. Seems like this one is practicing fighting by attacking a black-headed gull, rather than going for a meal.
didn't look dead at the end
Indeed it was a failed hunt, it did not kill it.
Gulls usually severely injure their prey and wait till they die off so they can save energy, in case these need to either defend their kill afterwards or flee from a greater opponent like and Owl or something.
How's that killing the common gull? Good video all the same, especially capturing the bird of prey in flight.
These gulls can be vicious. Seriously wounding their prey then let them die slowly before coming back in to feast.
Gulls are pretty vicious but they don't always get their own way. The other night I saw a YT clip filmed in a harbour of an Octopus which caught a gull that fought like hell but the Octopus wasn't letting go.
Guess that gull called the other gull a lesser gull 😂 who's lesser now
Haha 😂 that is funny
Don't know why oystercatchers are called oystercatchers??. They don't catch oysters at all? Oysters don't run away
The lesser spotted long legged oyster does, it can run the 100m faster than Usain bolt
This is very sad RIp lil black cap, nature is cruel and brutal but you can't blame the black backed gull for what he does he doesn't know any better and that's how he survives , they are skilled predators and they don't hold back for their next meal.
Very true - predators are an integral aprt of the natural world
@@davidbowman3923 Pretty much , nature is an amoral force there's lots of things in nature we don't like and predators are part of that balance but most importantly we have to remember animals aren't moral agents they do what they can to survive but yes some animals also hunt for fun (cats for one) but still they wouldn't be able to understand what is right or wrong even if we tried to teach them that's why I get annoyed then people use footage to hate on gulls even justify cruelty (posing gulls , shooting arrows in them for example) , we can't expect animals to act like saints and we should always show respect and kindness to other lifeforms because we on the otherhand do.
Heard the Whooper Swans..
Thank goodness, it survived...
Turf war?
didnt kill it.
The misinformation contained in this video.. boggles the mind...
At most the gull roughed up the black headed gull. thats it. a territory dispute at best.
Hi DeathBrand (your real name, I assume). Just to help you here in case you're worrying your little head about this. After I finished filming, it took about 20 minutes before the gull died, so you can sleep easy now.
@@davidbowman3923 The sass is real with you, huh? lol
ninecupcakes All adds to the fun😎
They usually feed up on Duclings, Moorhens, can eat a whole brood of Ducklings, one draws the Duck off protecting their Ducklings, the other Black Back pinches the Duckling..
Once saw a Greater Black Back pinch an Eel from a Cormarant..
They are predators, like Lions in Africa..
It's how gulls hunt sometimes. They'll injury them, move away to let them die then come back to feed.
That Seagull has a ‘ Bonaparte’ Complex’. 😅
Greater Black Backs can identify individual persons, can get to know you, sit close as you take photographs, even greet you with their young..
One was sitting with Shags, a young Shag started to play with a fallen twig, the Shag backed off quickly as the Black Back went for him, the terrain sloping down behind the Shag, which saved him..
They are amazing intellgent birds , brutal predators but worthy of respect and kindness still. I do feel the for the little black cap I don't think he saw it coming
Hehehe, he said shag

It is distressing to see this gull-on-gull violence. LBBG's are very territorial, and take encroachment seriously. The BHG may appeared to the LBBG to have raised up, and thats all it takes for some gulls to go for a kill. A GBBG can take down a LBBG for this same offense of encroachment and raising up. No one really knows why a gull will go all the way and kill another gull like this, and it is distressing for a human to witness this.
Yes it happens a lot where my mum lives in Llandudno the Black bulls come in and start to kill all the local ones out of territory so they can feed easier,she said they leave them half dead and she had to finish them off herself sometimes out of pitty on them, ruthless birds seagulls but that's mother nature for you..
*Blackgulls
Is this common for them to do??? I have never heard or seen this happen and was wondering if they regularly attack other gulls like this???
Julie Robbs hi, Julie. Yes they are notorious for predating other birds. If you do a TH-cam search, you’ll find lots of similar footage.
David Bowman oh God, I couldn’t even watch this, never mind any others!!!!
Living in a town, located on a peninsula, I see and interact with gulls on a daily basis, including these beautiful guys.
I know they can be pretty aggressive, but never imagined that they would actually attack & kill another bird just because???? I could understand if the other bird was threatening his/her babies, but a bird who’s minding its own business, doing the same thing as all the other birds, that doesn’t make sense to me. But, I suppose it doesn’t have to. Thank you for the insight, I guess you really do learn something new everyday!!!!
on salena kyles youtube you can see gulls catching large birds one gull a great black backed gull caught a herring gull bigger than this lesser black backed gull in the video and ate it
@@julierobbs4481
Not only gulls kills other birds, personally seen an ultra aggressive swan drowning a goose once, though not to att though it just came to close to the swans nest and then the swan grabbed it's neck and keept it's head under water för a very long time and after the goose floated dead in the water.
they are different species so yeah it is
Birds still applying the dino raptor eating ways Gulp! 🙃 baby ducks rabbits pigeons all food
Bats ....
Black Backs appear to enjoy the pain that they inflict on their victims..
They will then leave the crippled prey to die slowly at the end..
Attacks can last 10 minutes, if the victim fights back, the attacker causes more pain to thr victim..
Not always though, as I have seen Herring Gull Parents land on the attackers back, fiercely pecking the Black Backs on the head, so as to protect their fledglings..
Herring Gulls from Fledgling to Adult are always jumping on each other as to sharpen their reaction skills..
Beware this sort of anthropomorphism. This is life and death to predator as well... needlessly expending energy is a potentially fatal mistake. The reason gull predations of other birds are so brutal is simply because gulls aren't equipped to take down large prey like that... they do it out of sheer opportunity. Accipiter predations can also be excruciatingly painful to watch, but neither deserves a moral judgment one way or another.
How sad... gull on gull violence, when is it going to end? lol
._.
Seagulls are the worst.
I have a semi automatic assault rifle that begs to differ
