Observation details
Fascinating episode of watching the bird take down a shorebird over the ocean and knock it to the surface. Bird spent several minutes trying to recover prey from the surface during which time it was mobbed by nine Royal Terns. Eventually retrieved it's kill and flew inland. Pictures show the chase and outcome.
