First Flight Fun with the gulls!

By Paul Cecil | Published June 16, 2008

To get the full sequence you'll need to go here and hit the arrows to the right of the title bar.

But for the lazy… here's a taster.

Camera note: all shots taken with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens + Kenko Teleplus 1.4x Pro 300 DG teleconverter.

Darko, yes they keep practising. Stretching the wing and standing on one leg seems to be a very important part of the training!

Adele, there's just so much wing when they open it out. The wing feathers have really come on apace over the past week.
