Pirate saves the day!

Things were not looking good in my garden. Only two birds and it was after 11:30. So I put some bread out. Some time later still nothing. 
Then a band of aerial pirates sailed in. Two of them swooped down and sped off with a piece of plunder but the third got caught in the rigging. I shot out and managed to wrestle the fiend from the net with only a few bites. But it saved the day. My first Black-headed gull from a mist net. A perky 5M on total head. Sorry about the less than glamorous photo.
