My first BIF...no wow but my 1st. :)

Went on a photo outing with some fellow photogs to a lighthouse up the coast. Had to cross a sand spit so tides and timing were crucial. Managed to semi stalk some seagulls and Caspian Terns and managed my best efforts yet of BIF's. Only shooting with the 70-200 f/4 as it's as big as I have so far.



This is the long walk we did (see the speck of a lighthouse!!) and was taken from the long steep climb that preceded the long walk. 97 deg F yesterday so nice and warm and sweaty too.



Saw some White Bellied Sea Eagles, big 'uns too!!! But they wouldn't come close enough for some machine gun action

Thanks for looking...
Lucky

Hey lucky,

Two nice shots. You sure didn't pick an easy subject for your first BIF.
