We’ve been out and about with our friend Yulia today and this afternoon we took a stroll around Bosham. As we walked along the quayside an elderly man was feeding the swans and ducks. Above him there were dozens of gulls, also hopeful of catching some food. It was incredibly windy and it was fascinating watching them riding the wind. I only had my nifty-fifty lens with me but I was still able to capture some of the gulls in flight as they were so close.

How relaxed and graceful it looks. So well defined against the gray sky! Love the little cock to the head! danrav · 2012-01-04: 13:54
