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. nice catch!!!
Anatomy of a mid-air theft
1- The approach: The seagull glides unseen from behind as the unsuspecting egret fishes a shrimp from the sea to eat for himself
2- Acrobatic stretch: Just as the egret thinks he's about to have a tasty dinner, the seagull suddenly cranes over, extending its neck and grabs the food in its beak
3- The getaway: Now upside down, the seagull has snatched the shrimp away from the egret before swooping off to enjoy the stolen meal
