That is mainly the sea behind the bird.
Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".

The depth of field puts the sea completely out of focus.
Flying lesson was today, but cancelled due to weather conditions. Now rescheduled for a fortnight tomorrow.

They mess everywhere, they squawk raucously and continuously and they are a complete nuisance. One of the drawbacks in living in a high flat, close to the shore. The gulls think they are cliffs! So here is my image of a "flying rat".

European Herring Gull, Kirkcaldy Harbour 20-4-16.

Nikon D80, 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR lens, Manual mode, 1/320 sec, f10, ISO 200. 450mm lens equivalent.
Hi John,

I especially like the thin patch of sunlight on the forehead and the larger patch of sunlight on the chest. Nice shot!

The Black-crowned Night Heron is one of my favorite birds to photograph. The transformation from juvenile to adult form is truly amazing. It's still hard for me to believe they're the same bird! Here's an example:

1. juvenile form (gorgeous orange iris)
[Image: IMG_6801-L.jpg]
2. intermediate form (transformation of plumage and subtle hint of orange in the iris as it begins to go red)
[Image: britton-L.jpg]
3. adult form (transformation of plumage complete, stunning red iris and primarily black bill)
[Image: IMG_0454-L.jpg]
Nature continues to astound!

Tony
