Gannet
Taken at bemton in bright & windy conditions. This bird was heading straight for me very quickly before diving below the cliff. He was quite close when the shotwas taken so not much choice of crop. Not an easy bird to keep in the frame.

F5.6, 2000th sec, iso400 -1/3exp

Superb timing producing a great image. The bird seems to have a determined look on its face.
A really good BG as well. Excellent.

Good flight shot. Agree about the crop.

Good solid flight shot, Lee. Could have done with being a little higher in the frame but top marks for getting what you got - not easy.

Cheers,
Chris
