Taken last saturday while shooting Grey Seals at Donna Nook...at one moment the wind was too heavy to get any decent seal-shot...so I thought I might give the gulls a try who were trying to get some food which was not that easy during these circumstances.

The light and action on this one are really nice Jasper. It looks to me like he's doing a dance

Nice shot.

Lol... I remember seeing you sitting there and wondering what the hell you were doing away from the seals... Now I know

.

The capture of the moment is perfect. The warm light on the gull and the warm bit of sand and sky on the top give it quite a special atmosphere.
