Now

Now - the moment of attack. 

Gulls can be patient - they can watch you carefully as you walk along eating your ice cream, waiting for that moment when your concentration wavers, and then pounce. But generally, when a gull sees something, he wants it NOW, and woe betide anyone - or anything - that gets in his way. 

According to Don Enright in his ‘7 habit of nightly effective gulls’ they are actually social creatures, banding together when the need arises - but most of the time, they act as if they hate each other - and that’s certainly the case here. 

Here we have two  both wanting the same thing, spying the same morsel at the same moment. They see it now, and they want it now. There can, of course, be only one winner, and right now, it looks to be the one attacking from the side.  For now at least.
