Eyes bigger than stomach - (Larus michahellis)

Eyes bigger than stomach - (Larus michahellis) I photographed this Yellow-legged gull (Larus Michahellis) throwing up this big eel, too big for its stomach. This is the third attempt to eat it without being able to keep it in its stomach. Nikon D 850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 5.6, 1/2500 sec, ISO 320. Thanks for your comments

Fantastic shot with beautiful colors and great technical quality, Giangiorgio! My sincere compliments! PDE

Hi Giangiorgio,

 

you have captured this natural yet slightly shocking event very well, with beautiful light and the optimal depth of field. The composition is very strong and enhances the action. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent many thanks for your generous comment especially because it was made by an expert bird photographer who knows that in nature you find yourself photographing even unpleasant aspects , ciao Giangiorgio

Grazie mille Pierre, your comments are always appreciated, ciao Giangiorgio

Expressive moment, photо and title, Giangiorgio! I want to ask, how did it end? Masterfully captured! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Welcome back Tatiana, thanks for your appreciated comment. Shortly after this photo other seagulls arrived and tried to take the eel away from him, but in the fight it ended up in the water and was lost , ciao Giangiorgio

Tatiana, thank you for putting this photo in your favorites, ciao Giangiorgio
