I added this third image to show the scale here. The wingspan is the same as a that of a Bald Eagle

I really like those first two images Paul. Good control of the exposure!

Excellent job! Those first two are really nice. Great exposure and love the scenery. Wingspan on the GBBG-65". Wingspan on Bald Eagle-72-85". Pretty close.

Fantastic shots Paul, you have nailed the exposure perfectly. The details are good and lovely and sharp, love the last shot with the sign.

Great shots and LOL on the last one. A mate asked me how he could tell the difference between a herring gull flying over and a GBBG - I said "did it go dark?" They are huge.
