Loads of photos to sort through from the Farne Islands yesterday. This one jumps out

Nice!. Really like this type of shot where they have their undercarriage down. Were you focusing on the eyes?, as see wing tips just out of focus but still a great image.

A stunning shot well taken

Cracking shot Alan, I'll really like the wing blur. I was at Holy Island on Friday so not far from the Farne Islands.

Very nice mate. Probably going to go over next week.

Thanks guys - much appreciated. Bruce, I just aimed in the general direction of the bird. They come so fast and are really quite small. You miss with more shots than you get

Was taking to Mark about it a couple of weeks ago, and was hoping to come with you. But, got a chance to go earlier

Great combination of sharp face and wing blur, just possibly a bit bright around the face but otherwise spot on

Fully understood. Still a great shot. What lens were you using?

No worries mate. I'm sure we'll bump into each other soon.

Nice one. The difficulty sometimes is to pick one! They come at all angles from everywhere.

I'll be there this Friday for my second trip this year; I did a combined Bass Rock/Farnes trip in June.
