Hi All.
Picture taken recently at the Bullers of Buchan Aberdeenshire. The reason I shot at F16 I was trying to get another bird in the frame. No Hide. I find if you sit quietly the birds come in. Specs Canon 1D MK11n 300mm lens 2x conv. Iso 400 1/400sec F16. All comments welcome. I will be missing from the Forum for a few weeks as I am off on Hols.

Good feather detail and nice pose,the yellow in the mouth adds to the image-Happy Hols anywhere nice?

Have a good one

A fine Razorbill shot with a good pose and showing that wonderfully coloured mouth off superbly.
I'd be inclined to crop a little off the bottom,just a fraction above the shadowed rock edge.

I really like this on, John! The yellow gape is quite interesting. Enjoy Alaska...
