The Hunter and The Prey
Every year Pearl Mullets rush to the Erciş fish weir for rubbing themselves to the rocks in the water and lay their eggs. So interestingly the seagulls around never touch them. Afterwards, when laying eggs process is over and when fishes try to go back the seagulls hunt them. The last look of the prey to its hunter is so dramatic.
