Observation details
I got a real kick out of watching these gulls, finding an oyster, then flying up high, then dropping the oyster onto the hard sand to open the shell so they could eat it. I watched them with fascination ast they did this routine 2 or 3 times. Other than my one photo being out of focus, you can see the oyster falling through the air after the gull dropped it.
