We've all faced this problem…
Just cruising around, when…
…something forces you to land.
Damn it's irritating…
… when you get something in your eye.
I think that's got it.
And up and awaaay!
Camera note: all shots taken with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens

14 Dec 2007They're very photogenic aren't they. This one was just flying around on its own at low level and drawing a neat circle around me. If only all wildlife were so cooperative!

15 Dec 2007Glad you enjoyed them! The black-headeds are much more co-operative than the larger herring gulls, and much more comical in their behaviour.
