Firstly, I hope everyone had a lovely xmas and are enjoying the early days of 2012.I have had a fortnight's break from work to recharge the batteries. Its been nice, which is more than I can say for the weather over here in the UK. Gales and rain have been the main theme; both weather conditions that are not conducive to photography so I have been limited to a single visit to some coastal marshes in mid December. Oh well, I am sure 2012 will bring some good photographic opportunities at some point.
Anyway getting back to the session with the Meditteranean Gulls at Scarborough in early December 2011, I have now finished editing the images and below is the final set along with the two photos shown in part 1 of this series. The first two images are of two different first winter birds; the remainder are of adults in winter plumage. I hope you enjoy and I hope to get back in March, before they depart, for when the adults have moulted into their striking summer plumage.
Some cracking images here Matt. I love the low down 'grass' shots. Happy New Year, have a great one.

ReplyDeleteHi Matt!
ReplyDeleteReally nice MedGull series, I especially like the portrait. Well done!
The Mediterranean Gull is one of my favorite Gull species.
They breed in some years here in my area and in May there is always an experience when they are hunting may bugs.
Regards, and all the best for 2012!
