A bright but very windy Sunday afternoon, helped slow the gulls down in flight as I walked around the headland to Mudeford Quay.

These gulls – juvenille herring gulls I first spotted overhead.  This first one was almost directly over me.

Before lowering a bit  – unfortunately the wing is slightly chopped off.  I need more practice at it 🙂

And this one is just not quite there again – but I still like it personally.

Here is one fully in frame – taken a bit furher away – and cropped to a panorama style.

Not only did I see them in flight, but laying down on the beach, managed to take some on the shoreline.

As well as these gulls – these other two wading birds were photographed.  A redshank and a busy turnstone.

And finally a brave kayaker was out on the Sea.
