Hey Ian,

Great job on a difficult subject. You did a terrific job on the exposure. :clap

Good job Ian, I'm so glad you posted this, I was trying to shoot the same kind of bird today and had no idea what it was. ( fast litter buggers aren't they )

They are fast little birds, very difficult to track! That's a nice dreamy quaility to that shot, Ian.

Ed -- amazing water and bird shot... that little bird kicked up that much water? Amazing!

Thanks Harry! Looking forward to some sunny days instead of these
half cloud less sun days.

Nice capture Ed! Those little guys are fast. I hope to go back as there seems
to be a rookery or at least a spot they're all gathering. Here's one bringing
food back to the nest.

Amazing bird wings work the way they do.

I was trying to shoot some of these guys last week and they are tough :huh Fast and unpredictable and very hard to keep in the VF at 400-500mm's:dunno Oh, and they're BLACK and WHITE to boot.......lol

So any chick activity at the rookery? I think Andy and I are going to stop there Weds afternoon. You're welcome to join us, if you're up for it?

I want to get some shots of the swallows and I'd love to get one tern pic as good as the ones I've seen in this thread :thumb :thumb


Thanks for sharing,

I have a few OOF's I can share with you :D

I was by the rookery yesterday. The birds seem deeper in the trees
than previous weeks. I'm guessings chicks soon.

Got a lot to do before Friday. So I'll have to say maybe for Wednesday.
