St Ives,Stormy Gulls and Torrential Rain

Decided to visit St Ives, Porthmeor to photograph the surfers around late morning. The surf photography was interupted by these to squabbling Gulls at one point I thought they were going mental. Anyway as the photos have recorded you can see they were quite vocal and fighting one another. The action was much to fast, and they were only a short distance from me.  How ever the out of focus picture shows they intensity of the moment.  Just as I departed the heavens opened and I had to stop between Hayle and Leedstown as I couldn't see where I was going despite having the wipers on full speed. So hopefully there will be some dramatic weather images appearing on the various blogs soon.

The images on this page need to be double clicked and enlarged to see the true picture!

Not sharp but a record of the action. Surprisingly the gull was unscathed.
