Thanks for the clarification on the white(ish) bird, the photo was taken at Haverigg, across the Duddon estuary from home. The birds had been driven in by the tide, the bulk of them were slowly retreating along a spit some way from my viewpoint, definitely beyond the reach of most lenses.

If you have ever been bombed by one of them you call them something else entirely - digested crabs are just the worst However, Jonathon Livingstone Seagull is a good book!

Not a bird photo but the picture to provide background for a quick bird story. I had just taken this exposure to start a sequence of test exposures with my equatorial mount, I walked back to the car to leave the camera clicking away on it's own at 9 minutes past midnight when I saw three Swans almost silently flying over the col where I was parked. They were very low and very close, maybe twenty feet away? I was quite startled by their sudden appearance, the road must be close to 1,000 feet above sea level, it was a surreal experience, the outstretched necks and massive wingspan in silent flight. I have seen Buzzards circling very high above that area in very poor light, I don't know if they would tackle a group of three Swans, in the dark, actually bright moonlight. A you can see from the photo.

a few from yesterday and today (thurs) mega high tide tomorrow and I shall be out with a mate chasing the owls yet again . I think that will probably be the turning point as its been such a good owl season I have a few thousand un edited owl files .I need to concentrate on other birds for a change .. all shots below taken hand held with d7200 and sigma 150-600c what a combo

More good sharp pixs with good colour balance and sharp focus! No need for me to post any more bird pixs as Black Fox is doing such a good job for us all!
