swooping seagulls Broome

When I was running on Cable beach , Broome yesterday I was swooped aggressively by one seagull and two or three others came across to fly above me but now swoop. I didn’t stop to see if there were any chicks(couldn’t have been eggs as tide had been over the area I was running on) but a glance while running didn’t show any. Swooping continued for about half a kilometre and was the same as a magpie, although calling continuously. when I came back down the beach presumably the same bird swooped again although in a much more half hearted fashion. this is my first seagull swoop. Black faced woodswallow, murray magpie, peregrine and australian magpie and I think some sort of raven from memory. My wife flushed spotted nightjar yesterday walking along Minyirr park near cable beach.
