Very good expossure of a difficult subject Sindri,but its feathers look like they have been washed out or something,the compression maybe?

Wow! Beautiful shots! I especially love the first one, with all the details on the... fish!

Great captures especially the 1st, amazing how they can swallow fish with spines like those, gives me a sore throat thinking about it.:)


Best regards Pete.

Awesome catch...for both you and the Black Guillemot. Very nice. The images are nicely exposed and seeing that fish in its beak is very cool.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your input. I have to say that in very short time you have managed to create one of the best bird forum around. Keep up the good work and I will try to do my best as well. ;-)a

More beautiful shots of exotic fauna. The color of the bird's feet is singular. Very nice captures.
