Scramble!

I know they're common but that doesn't make them any less beautiful than they are. They remind me of WWII spitfires.

Well captured mate.

Thanks Tassie, and I would add that I can sit and watch seagulls for hours on end in a state of utter enchantment.

I like seagulls too, and common birds are good for photo practice

Exactly Birdgirl ... great for practice and with great rewards.

I think these 'fighters' are scrambling to intercept a vicious looking chip! ;^) But seriously, these birds make an excellent portrait subject. I'm still trying to get one where I haven't overexposed the whites.

bonus point for someone id'ing the bird in the background in the top right hand corner.

I know what you mean about not over exposing the whites, it's easy to do. To avoid it, I set my camera to spot focus mode which takes care of the exposure. Thanks Gelmir.
