I had a shot at seagull snapping a couple of weeks ago.  Birds are a pain - damned things keep moving!!

My technique probably won't help you much but was...

Oh, bird! Point camera.  Follow the bird, follow the bird, follow the bird...SNAP!! :lol: :lol:

It worked though.  D810 and 70-300 lens.  Here's one of the piccies.  Nothing done to it except a resize for here.  Yes, that is a genuine Scottish blue sky - it happens sometimes!  The second pic is a crop from the centre of it.  Very sharp.  The light conditions were pretty good though.



But this is a very nice shot!

BTW prepare for visitors next year in 2018. NC500 beckons but I might get distracted!
