Birdguides Picture of the Week for PMG.........

PMG · #1 (**permalink**) 27-07-2008, 08:50 AM

I think I better 'fess up' having received a couple of 'guessing emails' from folk here as to whether I have won Pick of the Week on Birdguides.com..... well yes I have

with a moody shot of a Manx Shearwater flying over a rough sea.........It was taken from the boat on the way over to the isles back in June and the start of a cracking holiday - a thread with pics I will start soon when I can get this daft machine of mine to stop timing out when I'm uploading

I've subscribed to that site for some years but I didn't know they had a photo section! Congratulations PMG - it catches the atmosphere of a grey moody sea very well.

As you know Pauline, I was one of those "guessing emails" having spotted your excellent photo of a Manxie on the BirdGuides website.

Well done again on your photo of a bird in its marine environment

.

My views of Manxies are usually very distant through a telescope so getting a photo like this is a great achievement.

I look forward to seeing your trip report and photos.
