Onlookers watched as they flapped their wings at the seals' heads to force them to drop their catch.
The footage showed the seals surrounded by around 30 seagulls attempting to steal their food.
The seals are a permanent fixture at the thriving fishing village's harbour and were recently joined - albeit temporarily - by a pod of dolphins.
