The greedy gannets were unusually close to the shore this evening
so I could get much closer than my previous attempt in capturing these aerodynamic Concordes.
They moved at such speed, my brain and camera couldn’t match the pace and I failed to catch the impressive twist and turn and forceful impact on the water. Practising is fun though!
Let the great wheel spin 
Those later 2 shots of them flying with wings fully outstretched are superb photos. Well done – take a lot of patience doing wildlife photography!
Thanks Carol
Practice makes perfect.
Having said that…..I still think it’s hard to photograph a bird in flight.
Well done.
Thanks Vicky, I’ll keep trying to improve whilst the gannets are in the bay for the season.
The colours in your autumn photographs are stunning. Just love the leaves!
This is a wonderful sequence of shots-especially the two images of the bird in flight-well done!
Thank you.
They moved so fast they had my head in a whirl!
