Oyster thief

This seagull, built for scavenging not digging for oysters buried deep under the mud, had a plan for getting around his physical handicap. Just hang around off in the distance a might from one of these guys, wait for him to find one, then swoop in and bully it away from him.

This scare tactic made our unlucky little fellow drop his meal at first it appears, but he quickly picked it up and then turned and ran.
