Beautiful photos Dennis. I love the last one They look like our Kelp Gulls, don't they?. Are the ones in your photos juveniles?

Thanks for sharing

Wonderful flight shots dennis.

I think they are juveniles.

Im in NZ right now, saw lots of those BB gulls hanging out at the local rubbish tip when i took a load of tree prunings there!! I thought at the time it would be a good place to practice flight shots, but then i thought i might look a bit odd.

Nice shots tim, thats a great one looking down on the duck with the fish beneath the duck.

Thanks M-L & I think so after looking at other images of these birds.

Cheers.

Love seeing birds from other countries - nearby neighbours These are fantastic Dennis. The angle in the last shot makes his wings look very ethereal and dove like almost, love the curious head tilt in the second flight shot too. Hope you had a great trip and got some more NZ bird shots to share down the track?!
