Taken at Bempton last week. It was a bit of a mixed bag weather wise with cloud sun rain and even a hail shower. Still enjoyed the day

As there are a lot of Gannet pictures thought I would post a different BIF

1/640 sec at f4 ISO 400
Tripod with 939 head


Cheers for looking :toast:

Well captured, nice and sharp. Springwatch informs us that the number of these are dropping alarmingly. Perhaps when they become rare people will be able to see how beautiful they are.

very moody and atmospheric - I really like the colour palette - maybe more room needed on left to fly into for my own personal tastes...
