Kelp Gulls

[TobyMac]

Took some photos of the local beach resident bird in Margate. These are Kelp Gulls, unfortunately the weather was quite miserable so they weren't very active and it started to rain.

Toby...#3 has got action -- it lifts one of its leg up!!! and I like #3 -- it got a good separation from the cloud...and it lift its leg up...

That's a nice looking gull Tobias, I look forward to seeing some action shots of them when a bit more lively

[TobyMac]

Thanks all.

@Izzie, #3 is my favourite too, love the little walk they do while looking for a good spot to sit

@Grahame, unfortunately I am home again now so it will have to wait till I go back, hopefully in October.

Nice crisp captures. I like the second for its lovely green backdrop - I can feel the cool mistiness of the scene when I look at it.

As far as your camera mechanics, you've nailed it! My personal favorite is #2 as well. Very nicely done!

I like #3. It looks as miserable as you say the weather was!
