Hi,

Rather a lot to work through after my short absence, but looks to be some super work posted, so if I don't get round to commenting please accept my apologies.

After the rather poor weather at the weekend I spent Sunday am clearing and repairing my feeding station, it goes without saying that very little was around so finishing up I left the birds to get used to things again and headed back to the car. As I had done very little photography over the last fortnight I decided to get my fix with the Gulls in the car park next to the tidal reaches of the Medway, as they performed their acrobatics against the strong wind....

Although I haven't touched the camera a lot I have been busy, those of you who have looked at the current issue of Digital Photographer will recognise yours truly... and I am working on a couple of articles. Oh and I have got my back up etc complete and up to date....

All the best

Phil

Hi Phil

Nice shot in pleasing light, I really like the slight blur in both wings!

Nice to see you back - I'll have to look out for Digital Photographer!
A nice image taken in really nice warm light.
