very nice series of shots Stu, where were they taken?

Nice series...#3 & #4 are my favorites! The in-flight birds combined w/the "walking around" birds in the same shot is very pleasing.

Amazing series Stu!!! I know that a tele would make the difference, but these lool like an NGS expedition!!! Great catch ;-)

West Coast

Hi Everyone,

thanks for the comments. These were on the west coast of New Zealand. I will definitely have to revisit with a longer lens if they are still there.

Not sure why there was so many but they werent shifting. There were people walking up and down the beach and they just took off circled and landed further up the beach.

There was also about 10 Tern's together but they soon took off before I could get close.
