Air Fight Between a Hawk and a Seagull

Two days ago, I witnessed an amazing air fight between a hawk and a seagull.

It was some fierce cries in the air called my attention to those two majestic birds, chasing and circling each other, but didn't escalate into bloody pecking and clawing. The fearless seagull really faced off its much bigger opponent and perhaps, through her bravery, saved her chicks from the praying bird.

Hawing was nothing unusual, but the prey's fighting back was exciting - now the hawk chased the seagull, and then the seagull chased the hawk:

Quite an unusual sighting in an urban setting.
