We are fortunate to have them nesting at Bronte Harbor.
I found some still in the business of nest building but most of them finished the construction. This individual was looking for mud.
Thanks for looking.

Very nice shot. Looks like you took the shot in middle of the day, not an easy task to brings out colors in such harsh light. Nicely done.
Karl, did ever try to use "polarize" brush in post process?? It works wonders in harsh light condition shots. I am using "Aperture" for post process.

Thanks Ludo.
I checked it on the Internet and it seems like Apple computer users can have it only.
I use Adobe Photoshop 5. and couldn't find a filter you mentioned so far but will look again.
