Huffin and Puffin
It's the start of seabird season proper now, and it just isn't a summer without a decent crack at some of these.
Dull days like last week can give the opportunity to try something different in terms of the in vogue motion blur and simple pastels - hope you think it works like I do!

1DS Mk2
500mm + 1.4x
ISO 200
f5.6
1/50

Nice idea, but the large expanse of OOF foliage spoils it for me, if the bird had been standing on the mat of campion/thrift it would have been a cracker

Nice one - never too much blur!
