I'd gone to Inverbervie to investigate the ground, specifically Craig David Croft area, after dropping Olive at her daughters nearby. I found the croft after walking along the clifftop, but got distracted as usual by a small migration of birds going south, Swallows, Tree Pipits, Yellowhammers and Meadow Pipits. That led me to the rocks just north of Bervie Water mouth where I tried to capture the Black-headed and Common Gulls fishing.
I like this one, I'd accidentally shot it a F13 and it worked!
The Black-headed Gulls weren't keen on me being partly hidden in the rocks, but once I stood in plain sight they came closer. I suppose I didn't look like I was stalking them when in full view
This one is flipping the fish to swallow it. I must find out which species of fish
There were less Common Gulls around, but just as successful using the same shallow plungs technique
Backlit Common Gull
I was always on the wrong side of the light, an east coast problem. The shadow on this Cormorant was edited out
Guillemot, again shaded
Still a Guillemot but one of the bridled variant, giving it a strange stare as it moults into winter plumage
Not one of the migrating Yellowhammers I mentioned above, unless it had dropped into the stubble on its way south. When I say migrating in this case it's birds moving south within the UK
