Seaside brunch for two

This gull was attempting, with little success, to break the shell of a still-squirming lobster: 

Then it began squawking (what looked and sounded like  a pair bonding call), attracting the attention of another gull. They bobbed their heads and squeaked at each other (as in the linked video), and then the newly arrived one began to attack the lobster:  

 And finally cracked the shell!

Dolphins and pelicans

Wind dancers

A white gull feather was drifting on the wind. Then a raven swooped to snap it up, dropped the feather, and caught it again: 

These two were dancing over the sea:
