A short post tonight. The day has mainly been shades of grey though there was the hint of some light this morning when I had the chance to go down to Rottingdean. Inevitably I detoured along the cliffs where the fulmars were in full flight. There’s a strong colony of them roosting on the cliffs and their distinctive cackle now dominates the more raucous squawking of the gulls.
And as it’s Friday, here’s a fox as well. This shot was taken a few minutes ago in the garden. I’m not really getting any closer but the 200mm lens may make it seem that way. The reality is that the foxes are still extremely cautious, but it’s progress. 😀
Camera note: all fulmar photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens. The fox was photographed with the EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM lens.

23 May 2014The fulmar shots are nice … especially that last one, showing the ability to turn the neck.

24 May 2014dW, thanks! I liked that last fulmar shot. It’s not often they actually do anything, so any unusual action is welcome.
