You found the Cormorants! Well done. Nice DOF in that pic.

The gull looks kinda sweet. Which is a bit of a strange thing to say about a gull…

Thanks. No in flight shots today but I’ll go back.

These are always fun shots. The colours are different on this shoveler. Not a female I don't think

It was a rough day. The sun was at about 2 o'clock and there is no other place to shoot from. When they come in from feeding they are low and fast as you know. Once comes in every 15 minutes or so and you have to pay attention all the time to spot the spec coming in. The floaters in my eyes don't help. :lol: Easy to get distracted. I did not get one flying this time but I did last year. Might have been better to take the TC off for this which I'll try next time. That gull landed as I was about to give up so I decided to make a portait.

Yes, after a while. That's how I found out he had eaten through half a croissant. :-D

Got the shots first. ;)

Good grief, that was from the times I only put a long lens on occaisionally, I'm glad that photo's not available to see now! :twisted: Clearly why I forgot all about it! :lol:

Very well remembered though and looking back at shots from then has made me appreciate the improvement I, albeit slight, have made (gear mainly :lol: )


Levina de Ruijter wrote in post #19483516 (external link)
A blast from the past as they say. Pretty cool though.

In the spirit of self deprecation here is the photo in question and the difference is clear alongside something from a couple of weeks ago :)

You have got a very nice picture of this beautiful but underrated bird. Thanks for sharing.
