Critique Shags

[rpsmith79]

Recently had the please to visit the Farne Islands up in Northumberland, i didn't really know what to expect, but to say it was one of my best birding experiences would be an understatement, here are a selection of Shag shots from that trip

All these were all taken on a D7100 using a Sigma 150-600mm C

Like #3 especially, looks like the chick is pretty well advanced

Cool mosaic pattern on the wing
with discreet iridescence!

Cheers, i did actually get a whole sequence of shots of the chick being fed, the whole of the chicks head went down the mothers throat/gullet, it was pretty impressive

Yes, they look quite dull from a distance, but they really do have some impressive details close up
