Bearded Gannet !!
Canon EOS 1Ds MKII, 300mm f2.8 IS, 1.4x conv, f8, 1/1250, ISO 400, RAW, RSE, CS2, hand held, full frame.

Hi All,

:biggrin: :wink:

Another from Bempton. After collecting a gobful of grass, they simply dropped off of the cliff edge and glided away. Does anyone know why the whole colony seem to favour one small patch of grass :confused:

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Perhaps because it hasn't been pooped on yet????

Different shot Rob - I like it. You could lift the exposure a touch to give it a bit more pop.

Hi Rob,

This is a great behavioural shot! More than very nice to have on file! A slight lift to the midtone’s and contrast would increase that pop factor rather than exposure! Just IMO of course!

Hi Guys,

A slight lift in midtones, contrast and exposure. Working from an uncalibrated laptop, so thats my excuse :biggrin:

Looks like he hit the ground chin first to me. I've never seen this before. Nice behaviour shot, Rob.
