As you can all see I am having trouble geting things sorted especially when I am putting photos in a couple of days ahead. This image does not fit this caption. The only thing that is correct is that the photo was taken in Kaikoura sorry J

Welcome to A-3 J! This is a great image, I particularly love the colours behind the gull and also the the gentle expression on it's face. Well done! You'll get the hang of it soon enough.

Thanks for your comments on my birds. I really like this one of yours as well. I'm glad i'm not the only one who thinks even the gulls are beautiful!

@willow: Thanks Willow I think I have a couple of others to come. I think for me they are just about the only birds silly enough to stay still for me to photograph
