poised mid-air
avoiding the squabble
of voracious opportunists
swooping with raucous cries
patiently he awaits his
chance to dive
This post is for Cee’s Black and White Challenge. This week’s theme is isolated subjects. The picture is another one that I took on holiday in Cornwall earlier this year – this time on the beach near St Michael’s Mount.

Thanks, Cee. I was very pleased by this shot. 🙂 And it’s perfectly suited to black and white – there was practically no colour in it to start with! I’m glad you like it.

Thanks, Ali. I’ve tried to take pictures of birds in flight numerous times. This is the first time I’ve ever actually managed to get the bird in focus!
