Been a while since all of the gull posts. I shot a couple today.
These are sharp and have lovely curves, but the underside of the birds are under exposed as they are in the shade. I think a Beamer might help in this circumstance to balance the shaded exposure without over exposing the sky too much.
I ordered my Better Beamer from here http://www.naturephotographers.net/gs.html had it in less than a week. Pretty slick and easy. They have a lot of stuff you may find useful for wildlife photgraphy also, Greaper.
They also sell the Kinesis Safari sack which is a large and cool bean bag support made by Kinesis and useful for shooting out of car or house windows. www.kinesisgear.com also offers a lot of bags and packs for nature photographers.

For the most part I prefer shooting with natural light, but I just ordered the beamer, Thx for the link.
The biggest thing I have to do is calibrate my monitors. I am not sure what any of this stuff looks like to you guys (n gals)

I'll bet that won't look geeky at all. :uhoh
I like those natural light shots, greap. There's no loss of detail under the wings and the translucent nature of the tail feathers is sublime.
