Ross's Gull blast from the past

with news of several Ross's Gulls on the west coast and Ireland this winter I was transported back to Ormsary, Argyll on January 17th 2007; an appalling day for weather with strong wind and persistent torrential rain but a first-winter Ross's Gull performing at ranges down to 5m -- all photos with a Canon 1D2N and 300 f4 lens -- would love to see another Ross's and have a chance to blast at it with the new camera gear but time is running out this winter --

Ross's Gull revisited

I was amazed to see that it was January 14th 2007 when I took these Ross's Gull shots up in a very wet and windy western Scotland -- I never thought I did the bird justice so I have revamped the shots a bit in the hope of a new bird in the next few weeks! still one of my favourite species and one I travel a long way to see

more Ross's Gulls can you get enough?

different poses--I took 1500+ shots of this amazing bird but immediately deleted about 1000! the light was not good
