...obviously doesn't apply to Black-headed gulls on the Dorset Stour, today. I watched and photographed these birds for some 30 minutes, and was impressed by the 'hit rate' of their efforts, only occasionally being confused by floating dead leaves and the like. These birds can perform sudden changes in direction effortlessly, making framing in the viewfinder and focusing a rather hit or miss affair (I'm gonna need a faster lens).
The gull in the image is loosing it's winter plumage, and is taking on the feathers that give the bird its name.
