#ScreenFiller

Those moments when you sit and wait for the opportunity, 200-600mm in hand, and the bird gets so close that even at your 200mm end, it is almost too close to fit the whole bird in the frame.

That’s a lovely #ScreenFiller on #BirdOfTheDay Alan. I recently made it to @rspb.bsky.social’s fantastic
@rspbbemptoncliffs.bsky.social reserve and saw this magnificent Gannet which I’m also sneakily posting early for #SuperSeaBirdSunday.

This image shows an adult Gannet flying from right to left across the frame. Taken from slightly above the bird the background is the distant, dark sea surface. It was a beautiful day at RSPB Bempton Cliffs reserve so the bird is lit beautifully in the late afternoon sunshine showing off its brilliant white neck, back and tail feathers and the central panels of its wings which also have broad black tips. Its nape is the characteristic yellow of Gannets and its bill is unmistakably pointed, long and white with black lined edges and black below its pale blue eye. Its black and white legs are hanging below its body as it approaches the cliffs. This was my first visit to this reserve and it was amazing.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ScreenFiller, a capture where the bird takes up a large part of the image. Alt #Migratory, birds you see only in certain seasons.🪶❤️

This Pintail pair matches both themes.

Good morning. @alan678.bsky.social says the #BirdofTheDay is #ScreenFiller, a pic where the bird fills the frame. The alt is #Migratory, seasonal birds.

This Nazca booby didn’t move away because I think she was guarding her nest, tho I didn’t see it.
