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.

Kit 1
Canon 1D Mark 3
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Kit 2
1D2 & 40D
