Wild Birds of Europe

Some gulls in flight I shot recently at the coast. According to observation.org it are herring gulls.

Nice ones! These juvenile gulls are just impossible to identify. Herring gulls, Lesser black-backed gulls or Common gulls. They all look the same to me when young.

These are really nice, Jan.

I'm always amazed at how well you all do with the R7. My results were never that good with that camera.

I only dared to name the herring gull as it was identified as such by observation.org (waarneming.nl) , I would totally have no clue myself :wtf:

Like I mentioned in another thread/ post my relation with my R7 for some reason did not work out for my sports shooting, an area where that camera is also aimed at according to some of the marketing. Off course I got some great rugby shots with the R7 as well, but I felt much more confident when using my R5 or R6 and my potential keeper rate was a lot higher, at least it felt that way but I never did the exact math.

I just finished reading your story in the other thread. I was wondering if you still had your R7. It was a strange camera. I had so much fun with it whilst shooting, but the files just frustrated me.

Are you active on waarneming.nl at all?

I traded the R7 to contribute to a 400mm f2.8 , as I had to find some money and there was a 'great' deal on a 400mm so I wanted to act quickly.

I do occasionally post on waarneming.nl . It is mostly to identify the species I photographed. But since the site is about observations I also post sometimes when I'm certain about the species already. It is sort of a moral obligation to contribute to that site as I make use of it myself (I also donated to the site to support it for that same reason).

I posted some of my sightings too. Added a few pics. But not in a long while now.
