Die Größe der Silbermöwe kenne ich gut - wie klein und zierlich ist dagegen der andere Vorgel! Eine ganz feine Aufnahme! Das kräftige Blau gibt einen herrlichen HG!!!
LG! a.

This I can say is a very fine shot of these two very different coastal birds and illustrates perfectly the difference in size between the second year Herring Gull and the little turnstone which is one of my favourite wading birds.best wishes,
Lawson

: )) …and with this shot you are providing us with quite a graphic illustration of the reason why he's called "turnSTONE" and not "turnGULL"! he'd better stick to flipping over stones rather than start toppling unwavering giants! or, in other words: cobbler, stick to your last! ; ) greetings, sabine.
