Fulmar hovering
Here's another of fulmars on Fair Isle, this time in more conventional lighting. The wind was going the wrong way for me to get them coming towards me, but at least you can see the flying one's head. Its amazing watching them swooping and hovering by the cliffs.

Canon EOS 30D
Canon 300 f/4L IS
f/6.3
1/1000
ISO 200

C&C welcome, thanks for looking

I think they swoop and hover like that because they are silly and can't land on the cliffs :wink: I know what you mean though - great watching them :biggrin: I should get back round to posting something soon...

Great pics!
Matt

I think this is a very nice image Adam - the one poking its head out of the tussock really makes it for me - nice job :toast:

Hi Adam,

You're having a grand time on Fair Isle I'd say! Very nice image - like the way you have him flying out the frame while another looks on!

I like the way that the Oof Bg looks a long way down, it emphasises the way he is hanging over the void. Nice one.
