Yellow-legged herring gulls prey on the Greater Flamingo breeding colony in the Camargue, taking both eggs and chicks. They kill young chicks in their nest and flightless young forming large aggregates («crèches»). To rob nests the Yellow-legged herring gulls have developped a technique which forces the brooding flamingo to stand up. Once standing the brooding bird no longer defends its nest and the gull can take its content. Two or more gulls can cooperate when trying to catch larger chicks in a crèche. Such an attack causes young in the crèche to clump together and this may deter predation. Of the attacks observed 42 % were successful and 7 % unsuccessful, in spite of the perseverence of the predators. Fifty one percent were only brief i...
