A day at the seaside leads to copious amounts of seagull shots....... and lots and lots of blurred white blobs.

Click for big ones if you're that way inclined!

Crossed the Scottish border today (last time without a passport?) to visit St Abbs near Eyemouth. Very active bird colonies on the cliffs inc, Razorbills (see below) Guillimots, Kittiwakes and common Eider. There was even a Rock Pipit sitting next to the car park!

The full sequence of the ducklings would have made a good video. They seem to communicate by silent and invisible means. Do ducks do telepathy?

You're getting some lovely detail Mark. The B&W frames are picking things out nicely too, especially colour nuances. Always a pleasure to view along with the rest of this quality thread (except when I post of course!)

But these guys were a bit more skittish, big crop for this one. Bought a cheap 400mm prime to play with though, so that will help when it arrives.
