Here are some photos of Birds landing where they want to go.

I have yet to get shots of Birds other than Gannets and Seagulls but here we go.

#1 Muriwai Gannet Landing

I followed this bird in flight with my camera

  Thanks Elenka, to be just with birds and photography you just have to be quick on the click button. Doesn’t always work.

  Well, it is like, “Follow the bird” with the camera. I guess that is professionalism. I yet have to learn to adjust shutter speed, and other things on the camera. Sorry but just have it on the instant mode of taking photos.

  The bird stays focused on what he or she is doing but is after more than just landing. The seagull is a determined animal

  Thanks Elenka, the bird balances by instinct but Gannets are courageous birds.

The one-time pictures you made … you have to be as quick and embedded as possible so that you can do it all

  I would assume that, speed is more required here than patience.
