Another fairly patchy day. The forecast was good, but the proper winter sun never quite made it through the clouds. Some quite odd light by lunchtime though, as you can see in these shots of one of our resident herring gulls walking along a flat roof at work. This is one half of the pair that will produce a clutch of chicks later on in the year.
That’s it for today. More promise of sun tomorrow, but whether it appears is entirely another matter.
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens.

23 Jan 2015Well, even with a low light, gull looks light 😀 And it is one lice looking gull, I must say. Pretty clean for a gull, if you know what I mean 😀

24 Jan 2015Darko, this gull never travels very far. It lives on the campus, and just occasionally pops over to the pond for a wash. It has a very leisured life for a gull. Really. 🙂

All I’m taking photos of is raindrops! Two days of rainfall warnings in effect right now. It’s dismal!

24 Jan 2015Robin, I hope the weather changes for you soon. We’ve had sun all day today, but it won;t last.
