yesterdays birds sought to avoid the paparazzi (me) unlike today's subject this juvenile Pacific Gull

this 1st or 2nd year circled around in front of the camera for several passes to ensure I had a shot I was happy with - perhaps it is the equivalent of a publicity hungry 'B' grade starlet,
Beautiful shot. Must be shooting from some height? The water makes a great background.

Why are you not a 'ace' member? xx Your good

@raggleroo one of the main reasons I have not taken up ace membership is the prospect of three albums. I have been working in a place where the internet connection was so slow that it often took hours and multiple attempts to just upload one photo.

Thanks for your kind words

@mwarren365 I was on a cliff top lookout, the young gull circled at just above eye height several times, showing off for me.

@jenrobcarr I do plan to stalk koalas here on the island with camera in hand, the little penguins may prove more challenging as cameras are not permitted at the penguin parade. My sister works there so I am hoping she can suggest a suitable venue where I can carry my camera and get a shot or three of the penguins though

@jgill @falcon11 @megc1 @cglist @hudd @raebell @girlie thanks to you all - I seldom take time out to say thanks for the comments and I apologise for that, but your support is wonderful

@mebswartz thanks for your support and the fave!
