I see these great little birds flying and still wonder how the do it, taken at Farne Island this year

Terrific picture. I like it.
May be next time the wing a little higher so you can see more of this wonderfull bird. Also the thing behind his head (no idea what it is), may be you can PS it away.
Hi Paul
yes -unusual to have that change of colour behind a flying bird and I agree with Tom that dark area could be eased out of the way by what ever means. Beautifully sharp picture as well.
I like it.

Super flight shot. I actually like the positioning of the wings, I think it gives the bird a very determined attitude.

Thanks for comments, I agree with you Robert, I liked the arrangement, also i actually go for a slight blur in the wings if i can get it to for that sense of movement
Beautiful shot, blobs etc covered but I too like the wing position - they don't obscure anything important but do add to the motion and story in the shot.
