Awesome shot mate. I know how hard these are to get the exposure correct.

Like this as the other one Andy, but I like the landscape format here, classic UKNP as you'd say ref the shocking low comments on here lately, great detail and colours top shot

Another good sharp Kittiwake image from you. Nice pose, good details & a clean background. A cracking image of this very difficult subject

Comments aren't everything -as posters have probably noticed lately.
But It'll do for me.
