3. I know someone, which is a little bit deranged… and is «dream» was to pooh on a gull… just to see is reaction and tell him « Now you know what it does don’t you? ». He, obviosly, have been the victim of a Gull’s pooh…

   Great shot Joseph and have a wonderful first week of September.

4. Great photo! For me, birds are hard to get ‘close up’ – even with a zoom lens.

6. The bird seems so real it could easily fly out of my computer screen. Great shot. Clear as a tack.

   • Thank you very much Omar :) I hate to keep saying the same thing but that Fuji 55-200 is a awesome lens, and the image stabilization on it is great. Enjoy your weekend.

   • Thank you Pauline :) I used a 55-200mm telephoto zoom lens to get this shot, I believe I was at 200mm the maximum length. Have a great evening.
