It's not a winner, but I keep looking at the swan photo in the highly commended section.

I love the grasshopper! Also, why is a gull fighting with a puffin?

Gannett Jacuzzi and Starlings Watching Starlings are band names waiting to happen. And yes, I would pay handsomely for a wall-sized print of the Starlings. Mesmerizing.

Basically, because gulls are assholes. The puffin may have had something tasty (a fish, its own offspring) that the gull wanted to eat.

Gulls eat puffins.
After the gull finishes the puffin, all you get is a little inside-out puffin skin perfectly cleaned of any muscle with no tears in the skin. I can't do that with 10 fingers when I'm preparing a bird skin. The skins also make awesome, if morbid, puppets.
