Hi
Had the pleasure of spending time with Rob from the NPN this afternoon. The weather was changable to say the least. When I left home the sun was shining, so shorts, shirt and sandels where the order of the day....WRONG. By the time I met Rob it had started to rain, and rain it did, completley soaked, even managed to slip on my backside! However had a good few hours between the showers.

Nikon D200
Apature Priority. f10
Shutter speed 1/200
ISO 400
Focal length 500mm
RAW
Tripod Gitzo

C & C welcomed as I am still very new to the world of photography and all advice welcomed.

looks pretty good to me Dave. Perhaps a touch tight in the frame but certainly an attractive bird.

Stunning detail and superb colour. One advantage when the weather turns dull is that it makes exposing for seabirds easier.
