Some birds what I have seen just the other day!

This week, I have mostly been lucky enough to be down in Devon on a break and sat on the beach watching these bad boys go about the day. Enjoy

Fine shots of Gulls Diego ... except the second last ... what was going on there ...:shrug:

Well captured for the rest I say ... excellent motion stills ... :clap:

The first 5 are astounding. Why the wonky horizon in the last one?

Loved the first 5. Can you help a beginner by indicating the equipment & settings used to caputure the birds in flight. Regards.

Thanks all. Sorry about the sloppy last one, editing in a caravan on my laptop so not as good as normal

I shot these at F2.8, 300mm, 1/1600th on my Mark IIn.

Hope this helps. I only really nuged the ISO up as was a grey day tbh. I also set my white balance to cloudy.

Ven, Shot that one slower as a test and ended up loving it. Maybe an IKEA moment. Reckon will make a nice poster?
