Another image taken during our trip to Mull last week, which as always, included a visit to Lunga to see the Puffin's.

I have hoped to get a decent flight shot of these lovely little birds for ages, but found it so hard at Lunga as the birds approach the cliffs from very low down and just swoop up at the last minute, giving you very little time to see them and focus on them.

This was in my eyes the most succesful of the attempt's, I would welcome any advice or tips.

Many thanks,

Phil

Great in flight capture Phil especially head on like it is.
I would prefer a little more light though.
Done a quick shadows adj in a mod to show what I mean.

He looks sort of surprised by you and your camera---

Actually, I tried some of this with sea gulls-- not so much luck there either!

Very nice, great shot Phil. They're slippery little suckers to catch in focus and you've managed it a treat here.
