Another random shot from the Galapagos last year. This time one of the many Frigate birds that follow the boat around. Often so close that you couldn't fit them in the frame at 70mm
If you are asking for help with an ID, it really helps to know what part of the world the shot is from and what the local habitat is.Gull (not sure if it's a herring gull or a yellow-legged gull) up close and personal

Yep. No rivers or big catchments to bring sediment into the ocean. So the water is pretty clear.Is the sea really that blue? I can't wait to get there next month and see for myself!
I wasn't really asking for an ID... yet location was just off the coast of the dutch naval base harbour of Den Helder.If you are asking for help with an ID, it really helps to know what part of the world the shot is from and what the local habitat is.
There are about a dozen gull species that it might be.....
On a more important not, NICE SHOT!
I shooted this when was looking bugs. Shooted with focus stacking ,well at least he didnt heard shutter Cant be fun to be eagle ,always someone screaming to ear.
Would be nice if you could adjust enable disable focus stacking to af on button.
Marsh Harrier more than 80m away and I was set up for dragonflies with just 100-400mm on my 5DSR.
You are right. I’ll correct it. The first I have seen in the neighbourhood. Thanks Mike.Nice shots, Alan.
Are you sure on the ID? It looks more like a red kite, especially with the deeply forked tail.
