I can always bank on the owl if I miss all the birds. Today, he was most cooperative, posing for me and tracking me left to right. All images are 800x800 crops

Waiting

In front

Came closer

Where are you? At the base of the tree

Thanks. As long as the owl cooperates, I will get great shots. I am just waiting till the day I can afford the 300mm F4, then I can shoot from a discrete distance.

Black headed gull, if only all birds were such willing subjects! I think this goes to show that if you get close enough you can get nice results with a basic setup, even when not shooting in RAW (I'll get there some day).

Check Laughing Gull. The beak is red on yours. I posted one last week and that's what mine turned out to be. Laughing Gull, Identification, All About Birds - Cornell Lab of Ornithology

I'm sure they will be very closely related but we don't get those in the UK. This is a plain old does what it says on the tin black headed gull.
