By Jack Williams A photographer has captured a once-in-a-lifetime shot of an epic mid-air battle between an eagle and two seagulls. After initially stalking its prey, the eagle quickly latched onto an unsuspecting gull and flew off with it tightly in its talons. But a brave gull gave chase - frantically pecking at the predator's back in a fearless attempt to free its friend. After a pursuit that lasted a few seconds, the other gull eventually gave up, leaving the eagle to fly a further 200 yards to have its feast. David Canales, from Texas, USA, captured the incredible image in the Prince William Sound region of Alaska on June 27. After returning from the 11-day expedition in the remote location he was able to post his images online. He said: "I didn't think the photo was going to come out so well. "I had a short lens on the camera when I originally saw the eagle - I was frantically switching to a long lens when the gulls were moving in on the eagle. "Luckily the camera was on auto-focus, and I snapped away, and I was happy it came out just about perfect. "Our group didn't have any contact with anyone else for another week, and every person who has seen this photo has said it was one of the most epic things they have ever seen." Keen snapper David only began shooting in 2011 when he moved from Texas to Alaska. He added: "I had no idea what I was doing, but I've learned a lot since then. "I'm passionate about adventuring in the back-country and inspiring others to get out as well. "I do it out of joy from getting out with my friends." ENDS
