Got back from our holiday today (bummer) going through the many, many shots I took. Here's a couple of birdies.

Some type of butcher bird. He wanted me to feed him but I didn't so he got cranky and didn't come back.

And of course it wouldn't be the beach without the gulls...

    Gull shot...
    ...is excellent! Hard to get a proper exposure or a contrasty image even though they are plentiful.

    Good goin'. thumb.gif

    Thanks Ric. I played with a few of them I managed to get a few without blown out spots. This was the best. They got a bit pixelated when I loaded them into the hosting site...umph.gifwxwax

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Those seagulls come from nowhere don't they?
    Soon as you get food out, they're there.
    Soon as the kids drop any of the food it's gone, the seagulls now have it.
    So tell me did you hear them actually say these words eek7.gif Mine..Mine..Mine.. :D
    They have such bright eyes the ole seagull, I like the Ozzie Gulls they are a nice clean looking bird...........nice ta see ya back....... Skippy (Australia)
