I have taken advantage a few times recently of an area where gulls congregate to feed on discarded fish heads at the rear of a fish shop at Dungeness, on the Kent coast, but today there was a real feasting session with a large group of gulls devouring a large amount of fish heads and guts. Getting the lion’s share of the food were the huge Great Black-backed Gulls but a few opportunistic Herring Gulls were darting in to steal pieces of fish from the clutches of their larger companions. The resulting chaos and desperate gorging of food was quite a sight; a number of photos of greedy gulls follow.

Watching this activity was quite entertaining but a heavy rain shower meant that I had to cut short this photo session and take shelter in the car.
