Very nice shots. They gave you some nice poses. The first one is a little noisy.

Thanks :D and yes they are a bit noisy but I think this is due to working of low res copies and not the originals :(

Yes Phil, I was out fishing in the Bay just off the little orme and caught this sole Gannet diving for mackeral. We had approximately 50 Gannets in the area the previous week, which I believe is fairly rare around here, and have not seen them since so a lucky shot... and the only decent one I took all day of it fishing!

Its a great capture, I was hoping they'd be there this weekend.
