This is the incredible moment a seagull showed off some spectacular acrobatics - by flying upside down to steal a shrimp dinner right from the mouth of an egret. The unassuming egret had spent more than half an hour patiently fishing before finally landing the fish. But within seconds a cheeky gull swooped upside down and snatched the tasty treat right from its mouth before spinning up right and flying off for a dinner of its own. This is the incredible moment a seagull showed off some spectacular acrobatics - by flying upside down to steal a shrimp dinner right from the mouth of an egret. The unassuming egret had spent more than half an hour patiently fishing before finally landing the fish. But within seconds a cheeky gull swooped upside down and snatched the tasty treat right from its mouth before spinning up right and flying off for a dinner of its own. The egret just stood there for a minute before going back to hunting - it looked completely stunned at what had just happened. 'A couple of other egrets had caught some shrimp before and a group of three gulls had flown in over them but didn't force any to drop something. 'But after this one made a catch the gull came in and stole it. I've photographed great egret fishing so many times but have never seen this before.'
