Fulmar - Sheringham

The cliff tops at Sheringham are a great place to look for birds. It could be Meadow Pipits, Stonechats or just recently Ring Ouzles. I like to look out to sea a lot of the time, scanning for anything out of the ordinary. I've seen all sorts, from Gannets to Red-throated Divers and Scoters.
Currently nesting in the rocks are are some Fulmars. I had tried for a few days to try and get some flight shots of them, but they always seemed to come out of nowhere at me and then off before I could get a focus on them.
These are the best I could manage, but watching them sore along the cliff tops was good consolation.

Once again, it came out of nowhere.

    This is not a species that I have seen often, but I find it quite thrilling when I do, especially if they are coursing along the cliff tops in effortless flight.

    Birds are so amazing. It is true that they just seem to come out of nowhere. Boom there they are and then---there they aren't.
    Good shots

    These are beautiful shots. I think it can be quite difficult to catch the bird in flight with such clarity. Beautiful!

    I'm not seeing many Fulmar this week Adam. Maybe because I'm in Menorca. Catch you soon.

    To see a Fumar cruising over a rocky headland is to really be awed by the beauty of flight.
