Northern Gannet

With the subjects moving right to left, these flight frames look similar because the birds use predictable flight paths as they commute to and from the colony. If it's cloudy, it's possible to shoot in any direction but sunny mornings prescribe shooting straight out from the cliffs, a circumstance which means only watery background are possible. I found it was really hard to get nice upstroke extention from above, so I was happy with this result even if the near/left wing isn't as high as it could be.
