A relatively slow flying bird. But I'm about as far from being a bird photographer as one could be. I was at the beach taking pics of my dogs when I just couldn't resist pointing toward the heavens:

It might just be a Gull but it is also a nicely captured image, well done.

Very nice. I sometimes practice on gulls to try to improve my BIF shots.

A nice shot, Mark. Periodically, I try to swear off taking gull photos, but I am always lured back. They are beautiful in their own right and certainly good, ubiquitous subjects for practice.

I like gulls. Such great characters and great survivors. You did well here. Looks slightly overexposed in places maybe, but it sure looks good against that perfect and beautiful sky.

Well done, that are great subjects and not only for practice. The same goes for Rock Pigeons too, or at least it should.
