Hi,
How strange the weather was today, forcast was for heavy overcast all day so I set off to take part in my first fungi foray of the year (overcast is ideal), had a great time but shortly after grabbing lunch in a local supermarket the skies started to clear, so rather than go home I headed for the coast (where I live I suppose I am quite lucky in that the coast is only ever a short drive) not much around, but as I am heading for Gigrin Farm next month and I am not great at filght shots I thought it would be good to get some practice on the gulls..
All the best
Phil

Fine shot Phil, love the wing position and lighting.

Nice image Phil - great exposure, razor sharp and nice lighting - I'd be really happy with this if I was you

Yeah very nice. I like the even lighting which makes this for me

Crisp and clean with soft light. I think the juvs are much more interesting than the adults. The plumage is great!
