More of the baby gulls

By Paul Cecil | Published May 29, 2008

You mean I'll look like you when I grow up?

You're joking. Aren't you?

I can rock!

What big wings you've got!

Nice and safe

More from yesterday and today in the album.

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

    Lois, I agree, they are such little stars. I could watch them for hours if I had the time, but I can only grab a few minutes before work, and again at lunchtime.

    Andy, haven't they just. And on the technical side the teleconverter has come into its own.

    FB, I liked than one too. It's getting very difficult to pick out shots to post though. I took about 100 of them today :faint:

    Excellent set of shots Words.

    The chick rocking on his feet is the highlight of the set.
    Great catch!

    My chicks will wiggle their butt, then lift their wings like that just before a big poo!!!
