Re: Bird Fishing

It's a black headed gull. A regular one for the UK. I like the third image particularly!

Re: Bird Fishing

The bird is a Black Headed Gull although if you look at them close up the head is actually a dark chocolate brown. The last shot is pretty good, birds in flight are quite difficult to get right. Not sure about the first shot. Might have been better with a higher shutter speed or even the colour version. Hope you don't mind, just my thoughts.

Regards.

Re: Bird Fishing

I love the photos, I know it's in Foto Fair, but just a little hint, bird shots can look better when they have some space (of the photo) to look into.

Re: Bird Fishing

ahhhh I can see what you mean but I have just bought a 70-300 and found the cropping tool so everything has to be tight tight tight hahhahahha

But yes a little less sometimes does go further thanks for the comments
