Description
Red Billed Gull, Chroicocephalus scopulinus, Kaikoura, New Zealand
I was eating a sandwich in my car near the sea and a flock of gulls began hovering around looking for a bite to eat. This Red-Billed Gull wanted my sandwich, I told him it was chicken and he probably wouldn't like it. He said "I am a Gull, I eat everything, give me your sandwich." I said no but by now I had angered him and he tried to get in the car so I had to discourage him by holding up my camera. I got this shot one-handed with my 11mm lens. I gave the Gull my sandwich.

Correction to previous post: Quite a story! We have them here in Florida and our restaurants warn us not to feed the birds. Obviously, this one wouldn't take no for an answer. It was nice of you to give him your sandwich!
