This small guy was quite fast to track, even with 1DX. I was lucky enough to get few close up

 

[Dylan777]

With 1DX 12fps, I was able to select few with both wings @ fully stretched

I was out to shoot white tailed eagle (or sea eagle as some call it). Lots of sightings, but we were not able to get them close enough to the boat (even though we tempted them with some good fish). Since we were in a small rocking boat, I only brought my 70-300 f4-5.6L (did not bring the 70-200 for this trip).

So I shot some sea gulls instead. It is always difficult to get an image worth looking at, of something as common as a lesser black-backed gull. But I thought this one had a "conductor" like, hanging in the air kind of quality. It is shot pretty close to midnight, bathing in midnight sun.

That's a nice one.
It seems difficult to get a good balance of light on the gull in this time of the day. But you succeeded.

I love the looking of this bird. It's Great. Is this one hanging as well - like the one of Eldar - or is this bird just taking off? You can't tell with only sky as background. O, could be landing as well... ;D

Very nice capture.

Thanks guys.

This is coming into land, Candyman - "Incoming Puffin" is the clue..!

Gannet, Bempton, E. Yorkshire coast, England:

(Bigger here).

7D, Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 OS and 2x, handheld at 600mm.

I picked this scene as a deliberate challenge: Gannets aren't that hard to shoot against clean, featureless backgrounds, but a busy background like this is hard work for a camera's AF.

I also chose it because the context it provided for the image - there's more of a story here with all the nesting birds beneath the subject.

Thanks guys.

ha,ha,ha - yes I will never get to Sherlock Holmes missing even a simple clue like that!
