Hi,

Brett, Tony and myself have been attempting to photograph the Fulmars visible from the top of the White Cliffs, I have come to the conclusion that we have a new southern sub-species, the out of focus fulmar

Did get lots of sharp images of the gulls though.....

All the best

Phil

News flash Phil - those OoF fulmars are at Bempton too - I was so excited when I saw them in the back of the cam - to the naked eye they look just like regular ones

Good old HG's - always dependable

Spot on exposure.

Oof fulmars available near Dunstanburgh too - photographed the entire colony just to prove they were all the oof sub-species

Good gull too by the way! Nice eye and detail as always.

OOF fulmars?I have that problem with all species ,even static ones!Great BIF.

LOL@ you lot! Glad there are such species as 'in focus' herring gulls!

Very nice Phil...

Speak soon,

Fran

A good looking BIF image. Nice comp, well exposed & composed.

Lee

faultless image, really like the background, i'm at a loss as to how you've made what was no doubt a dismal grey sky look so appealing

Hi Phil

Simple flight shot in clear sky, even if it is grey is certainly appealing
