fighting gulls
hello

another one from the sequence of aggressive fighting gulls - the light broke on this shot and brightened up the sequence - the gull on the left is actually being pulled back down, rather than flying out and the next shot in the sequence they both disappeared under the water - crazy birds

D3, 300-800 at 800mm, 400th second at 7.1 +.03 EV ISO 200

cheers for looking

Colin

Great action Colin! I would have liked some seperation between the wing and the eye of the left gull... but nothing much you could do!

Doesn’t quite work for me, I think it’s the nearest wing semi covering the head.

Still well seen and captured.

Good action shot Colin, I think a closer crop may improve it slightly.
