Wildlife

Turns & Gulls

The latest outing with my Canon wildlife gear was a visit to Hengistbury Head on a lovely clear and crisp day. The lion share of wildlife on show turned out to be Turnstones and Gulls, so hence the title and the selection of photo’s from the day!

Firstly the Turnstone shots.

I used the Canon accessory grip for this last shot of a Turnstone. The grip works well for portrait shots as it has it’s own shutter and autofocus seclection point buttons in an easily accessible position when framing vertically.

And now the Gulls.
