This crow was relentlessly harassing one poor seagull. There were several other seagulls on the railing who were unperturbed by the battle.

In the background is a multi-coloured freight train across the bay.
I could have removed the backsides of the two seagulls in the bottom-right corner, but I don't like making those kinds of edits.

EDIT
I forgot that I have ON1 2025 (that has a "Generative Eraser"). This was easier to use than Capture One's Eraser Brush or Clone Tool. So here it is without the other seagulls' hind ends.

I would have no hesitation whatsoever doing that. Aside from that, that’s the strangest sealgull I have ever seen.
 
I didn't even know there were seagulls that aren't white.

As for the bottom-right corner I didn't notice until you mentioned it, as the main subject is perfectly framed. It's not too distracting.
 
It's a juvenile, they go through various colour phases before they get the adult uniform.

Winter plumage also differs from summer.

You have to be a real expert to identify gulls proficiently through all the phases.

Apart from that, the whole shape of the thing - tail, wings, head, beak, look nothing like any of the gulls we get here.
