The Common (Mew) Gull (Larus canus) is not as common around here as the name suggests. I generally only see a few individuals mixed up amongst the large flocks of Black-headed Gulls.
I was delighted to find that I had unknowingly catured this one in flight. FAB.
Pretty amazing shots. You've got this taking pictures of birds on the wing down to a science and I'm so envious!! Certainly is a handsome gull. I have never knowingly seen one. ~karen
ReplyDeleteFrank I love these kinds of images only. I rarely have a chance to take them. Beautiful. Carol
ReplyDeleteSpectacular
ReplyDeleteYou got some lovely flight shots there, beautifully exposed as well...Thomas
ReplyDeleteWell done with the Common Gull in flight Frank.
ReplyDeleteA very nice flight shot Frank, as you say, they are not that common inland.
ReplyDeleteFrank, that's a great flight shot! Not so easy to do at times, but you did good. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKaren. Flight shots for me are far from easy. I think I just had one of those lucky moments.
