it was a gull Larus marinus - they are pretty huge species, Paul, and almost always hunting with such head dives (I perhaps saw gulls, of any species - doing talons-first exercise - perhaps 1-2 times only) - Quercy

Whoa what a capture... Perfect timing, is that an osprey?? Probably not since I'm sure they always went after their game by the talons. Paul
