Common Gulls
Just got to edit this shot from last spring, a couple of Common Gulls (Larus canus), showing off their territory to neighbouring pairs.

20D + 500/4 + tc1.4; iso200; f8; 1/1000, FF, handheld from canoe.

Hi Helge,

Nice whites, an interesting behaviour image, although I do feel that a bit of separation between the birds would have been nice, I have never shot from a canoe so no idea if that would have been a possiblity...

Still an enjoyable image to view..

Hi Helge

Nice exposure in what looks like harsh lighting, agree with Phil's comments but I really like the behaviour you have captured!

One open beak would be good, but two is even better :wink: :cool:
