It's like mid-summer here. Which means grey, cold, wet and gloomy. Not ideal, but I liked a couple of the shots I managed during he day. This first one isn't quite as sharp as I would have liked, but capturing a pair of collared doves in flight tipped the balance on inclusion.
The second of the daytime shots is a juvenile herring gull, one of the ones born on the roofs of Sussex University (identifiable via the ring).
As for tonight, Shy Boy is looking ever more the full-grown fox, and he's beginning to boss the garden. Except of course this is Shutterbug!
Camera note: first two shots taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. Fox images taken with the EF 24-105 F4L IS USM through incipient mist, and a light drizzle.

9 Oct 2012The doves look like motion-blur, Words … Your EXIF isn't in the picture, so I can't be sure, but you could hardly be blamed for mot having the highest shutter speed set; not in a situation like that.
Shy boy is not only more mature-looking, he is noticeably bigger.

10 Oct 2012Darko, it seems to be one day rain, one day sun at the moment. Weird!

10 Oct 2012dW, the doves were taken at 1/250s, so a little bit of blur is to be expected.
Shy Boy looks bigger because it's Shutterbug. I was going through a weird couple of days there. :doh:

11 Oct 2012On this part of the coast, it feels like six days of rain and one of sun. November has come early 😥
The flint wall behind the doves complements their colour nicely :up:

11 Oct 2012Adele, it's obviously marginally better down here than where you are, but today was rubbish by anyone's standards. The weekend might be ok though.
