Puffins

My first Puffin shots for a couple of years.
Took a trip to RSPB Fowlsheugh, Aberdeenshire with Kiwi Paul today and managed to shoot quite a selection of Seabirds.

Also, my biggest C*ck Up to date.
Looking through the viewfinder, the birds appeared as I thought they would but I then realised that I had shot them at 200mm when I could have shot them at effectively 900mm!!
This resulted in pretty tight crops.
Thank goodness for 61mp

I have done that more than once Mike. Its the internal zoom function on the 200 -600mm that causes these mistakes

I think it came out pretty good, Mike. Something tells me the word "zoom" will be on your mind the next outing."
