Mark Reynolds was at the beach as well.
The 56-year-old journalist snapped photos of the gulls dive-bombing the terrified group as they tried in vain to protect their food.
The sun was blazing down around 5pm on 8 July when the feathered menaces launched their ambush, as reported by What’s The Jam.
