Hi all,

I took these on Sunday moning at the gravel pits. C&C is always welcome and thanks for looking.

Nice gull inflight with beautiful blue sky bg, Noel! The gull has nice looking plumage too. :)

It's a juvenile. Second calendar year by the looks of it. Good in-flight shots.

I like #2 great definition.

Can I suggest one thing?
When you copy the stuff from Flickr to upload, try a larger size.
My eyes suck and these smaller pics are difficult for me to see well.

It looks like you did very well with these IF shots Noel.
I think I like the plumage and the angle of the 2nd image the best, but they've all got beautiful background color.
I too would second Jeremy's notion that a larger size is nice for those of us who are blind, and it also allows for more accurate assessment when C&C is requested.
