Hi Bernz, as usual amazing...I love the orange ring around the eyes on the seagulls..they aren't that pretty here. All your shots are beautiful.

Well done Bernz! is that a 1 legged Seagull? I see it's been banded. It's a beautiful Capture.
The shags as you call them look like cormorants if I'm not mistake. That's a nice lens you have, I use the Canon 70-200 and it's a very versital zoom.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.
