The gull might try that with ducks and coots, but if they try the same thing with a swan they'll get a serious beating - and deserve it.
I wish I'd got my camera to hand a couple of days ago when some gulls got on the wrong side of a raven... ravens aren't normally an aggressive bird, but this one knocked a gull to the ground and rode it while giving at a real good seeing to - the rest of the flock fled and abandoned it to it's fate. It lived - but I doubt it'll ever go near a raven again.
More like naughty herring gull, disturbing the peace of the mallards and coots!
