Puffin
another flight shot. Again harsh lighting (the only bright day in June I reckon!).

Comments appreciated

1d2,500/4is, Tripod and probably cropped to about 50% :rolleyes:

Looks fine to me Graeme - be a bit more spectacular with a slight headturn but what the heck - top image and well handled with the lighting - rather have it harsh than not bloomin' light at all :biggrin:

Really good stuff and well handled on the focussing as these birds go like smoke

Hi Graeme,

Thanks for telling me where the Stonechat was, will have to make a trip over there soon.
Great shot of the Puffin, never taken a shot of one but have heard that they are really quick so well done. :toast:

Regards Chris.

Yes, very nice and I am sure, not easy to get.

Not an easy shot - great stuff, the wings make it look much bigger than it is!
