24th November 2013 - Flying by

Another one of my favourite shots for today I am afraid. Not in the mood to pick up the camera today. This is taken from a boat on the way to Bass Rock to see the gannets. The captain was throwing bits of fish over board to get the gannets to start diving. You can see them really high in the sky. The sea gulls did not need much tempting to come close in the chance of getting some easy pickings!!

I woke up this morning 25/11 to see this shot was on the PP so went over to check it out but it had gone. I looked up Alexei's table to see it went on and came off again twice during the night so it had two very brief appearences!! Thank you Alexei I would never have known!! LOL!!

Many thanks to you all for your great comments which got it on PP for its very brief moment!! I appreciate all your support so much!! It is still on Trending though - how funny!!
just a lovely image...

This makes me think of the Alfred Hitchcock movie, "The Birds". I love the b/w and the tonality and smoothness of the shades of grey! +F Congratulations on making the PP!
