Fantastic Fulmar shot. After trying to get a decent shot of these myself I know how hard they can be to keep in the frame as well as trying to get a 1d3 to focus onto it too :wink:

Great shot

Cheers guys :toast:

Cheers for that Lee, using your 20D yesterday made me realize how much I missed owning one, the percentage of keepers from the 20D was way above that of the mk3 :frown:

Hello Andrew.

This is my all time favourite bird, and you have just produced one of my favourite pictures of it.

Excellent.
