Oops!

Hey, someone once told me about seeing a group of Forster's Terns (or were
they Franklins Gulls. can't remember) mobbing a harrier. This isn't news,
but what was really interesting was that after putting up with the mobsters
for a while, the harrier turned on its back at just the right moment and
nabbed one of the terns.

Steve Herman, are you the one who related this story to me clear back in 1978?
