Flying Fulmar

These birds are so much harder to photo than gulls, as they seem to fly around in circles, zipping up on the wind and diving back down out of sight again. I took about 50 shots and got hardly any keepers.

That coupled with the sea as a background made it very difficult. That said, I have "worked" in worse places, and would rather be sat on a cliff top in Gorran Haven, Cornwall, than in front of a pc here in Warwickshire!
