Seagulls at an orange stream

youcantryreachingme

I was facing the other way when this flock of seagulls landed, practically at my feet. They started drinking and splashing. I managed to get five shots and figured straight away there was too much action to be able to pick the right moment to shoot. Of the five I like this one best because of the relatively even spread of birds throughout the frame. The stream itself is magic - such a bright orange cut into the sandstone.

Hi you...
Very nice capture. The stream is a definite plus.

Going off topic, but here's the stream on its own...

I like it The contrasting colors between the birds' plumage and the rocks and stream work well. As to the stream, maybe you found the source of the color in their bills and legs.

You've just reminded me - I have a very funny seagull photo to post... I've called it "Itchy Foot".

Good captures.

Umm.. can someone help me? I'm new to the forums and when I view this post today I cannot see images 2
and 3 that I posted.

EDIT: must have been a caching issue. As soon as I posted this comment I saw the 2 images again. Sorry.

Thanks for the encouragements

Like that the gull in the bottom center is taking a bite out of his neighbor!
