I was watching 4 Ospreys chase each other, when this Herring Gull flew by.  So I took a couple quick shot and liked this one.

Good stop-action shot. I could wish for more detail in the whites.

Nice, Peter.  The exposure on the whites works very well and you have good eye contact and wing position.  The slight hint of cloud shapes in the bg appeals to me as well.

A nice flight shot of this adult bird. Good management of the whites, but some loss of detail in the blacks. Lovely background.
