Birds 'in flight'
Tried my hand at birds 'in flight' yesterday down in the harbour of Anstruther. I didn't rattle off loads as I had my family with me but of the dozen or so I did take I think I managed to get 4 or 5 OK shots in terms of focus. I'll certainly be giving it another go soon and of those that were hopeless - I've at least a good idea of where I went wrong.
Anyway - here's a couple of gull shots although I'm unsure what type of Gulls they are.
and one which didn't quite work out.

Number 1 is lovely and tranquil.
Shame number 3 didn't work out as you had great clarity.
