    A really nice flight shot Shane. The banking pose looks great and the head angle and eye contact are solid. Exposure and details looked great also. Well captured

    A solid gull image. Good vertical comp, great job with the whites set off nicely against the pale blue BG. Looks like it had a rough time with its primaries!

    Thanks everyone!

    Daniel you cannot imagine the abuse the young ones get from adults over food. This one is actually in good shape hahaha

    interesting fact is that this year these gulls are mobbing migrating sparrowhawks and eating them. Poor things get pushed out to sea by the gulls and eventually get knocked down or fall in from exhaustion and get eaten.

    We have recovered 6 sparrowhawks so far from the sea. All released after a few days TLC
