Carried away with my camera at Chouet

I do not particularly enjoy bird photography. It is, however, a very useful tool with my gull colour ringing studies. Just occasionally conditions are such that I manage to get even closer than usual to the feeding gulls at Chouet. This morning was a good example...and although I maintained my focus on recording rings I did get a bit carried away with the camera.

Another Lesser Black-backed Gull back from wintering in southern Spain was the highlight this morning.
