I just stumbled upon these, from when I had just purchased the RF 800/11 and was trying it out, shooting from home. Crazy thing is I still like these shots.

These are great, Patrick! I have some shaking birds images, but just of gulls. Terns look way better.

Gulls have been my constant companion since I picked up a camera and started shooting birds. I shoot them from home. I live on the third floor (not counting ground floor, as we do not here) and that gives me a unique perspective on the birds flying by. And as it so happens, a lot of them are gulls. I practice on them, try out new gear on them and just shoot them for fun sometimes.

Here's a herring gull that just picked up some bread. My R5m2 would have shown a hell of a lot more detail but I still like the shot.
