Flight Shots at Hunstanton

 I spent some time on Saturday at Hunstanton trying to get flight shots of the various birds there especially the Fulmars. The light level was low with the cloudy conditions so high ISO and difficult to get high enough shutterspeeds  but it did allow detail in the whites and certainl;y gave the camera a task to pick up the birds against backgrounds

Birds at Hunstanton

Some shoreline birds from my visit on July 8th on a mostly overcast afternoon. I was trying to capture movement and flight as flocks of waders etc moved through when the tide receded and exposed the mussel-bed-feeding grounds. I also attempted to capture the Fulmars and Swifts that nest in the cliffs - not a great success rate!!

Hunstanton Birds

I spent Friday morning on Hunstanton Beach, watching and attempting to photograph some of the birds including the colony of 
Fulmars that nest on the cliff in the company of Swifts. As the tide went out the rocks were visited by Oyster Catchers, Cormorant, Curlew, Redshank and various Gulls including Mediterranean with the eye ring and pure white plumage.

Fulmars and Gulls at Hunstanton

Our last day in Norfolk brought beautiful weather and the Fulmars on the cliffs were well illuminated including a fluffy chick.We arrived at Hunstanton a couple of hours after High Tide (and a very high one too) so the various gulls and waders were coming back to the shoreline to feed as the waters receded. Here Black-headed Gulls, Herring Gull and Common Gull.

Hunstanton Cliffs, Beach and Fulmars

We were very lucky to have a beautiful sunset for the end of our RPS day in Hunstanton. I spent a time photographing the Fulmars as they flew in and out from the cliff - their straight wing flight reveals their close relationship to albatrosses. Later views of the cliffs and wonderful rock shapes and colours took over. Even found someone with a Field Camera on the beach.
