I've always found it quite difficult to capture these birds in flight, mainly because of their flight pattern and wing speed. I managed to capture this one as it flew downwards towards the harbour, late Sunday afternoon.

Excellent incoming flight shot. Nice HA, wing position, details and beautiful composition.

Excellent incoming flight shot with nice eye contact, Will.

Interesting angle, and all the better for it. This isn't an easy shot at all, so well captured Will.

Give that man a cigar! Super Will i know how tricky these little blighters can be - you did really well, good pose too. Being a little critical here but I would suggest lowering the brightest highlights just a little bit.
