lesser black backed gull
haven't had much luck shooting recently so here's one from earlier this year, taken on skokholm as the gulls come in for their daily scraps

350D + 17-40mm
1/250 @ F14
ISO 100

Your image has caught the feeding frenzy very well.
Perhaps needs brightening a little and your sensor needs a thorough clean as there's lots of dust spots evident.
If it's anything like the dust covered paths on Skomer in mid Summer it's no wonder your sensor picked has picked up a few :rolleyes:

Loads of action. Must clean my sensor too, not a favourite task.

Great image (never mind the dust bunnies) Jack :toast:

Just a pity those primaries run out the edge of frame :frown:
