While normally one finds Silver Gulls squabbling over food, we have observed the opposite. One bird brought in its catch, put it down on a rockface, and offered it to another, possibly its mate, who subsequently devoured the fish.

received, possibly from its partner, on the right, who accompanied
it during the process
