The others have pretty well summed up the gulls and skua shots, Craig, but I'll jump in a say I quite like the Pied Oystercatcher too - a tad more DOF to focus the wings and it would have been a pearler of a shot.

Elbows were in, although the boat was pitching about quite stongly.

Was this full-frame Craig or a crop? Obviously more of the bird is in focus but it's still a little soft. Were you using the 70-300 at 300mm?

Nearly full frame, a small amount of the right side. Yes it was the 70 - 300g at
Aperture: f/13.0
ISO: 200
Focal Length: 135mm (202mm 35mm)
Exposure Time: 0.0013s (1/750)
Could be soft from camera shake because of the pitching boat and the rushed manner in which I was trying to get the shots. Little buggers would not fly in the same spot for very long.

D'oh! Forgot you were on a boat (I was thinking cliff top for some reason - must be the Puffins still stuck in my mind.) The softness is quite understandable in those circumstances and I reckon you've actually pulled off a pretty good result.

Thanks Simon
I am happy with some of the shots from the 70-300 but I know now I should have splashed out on a quality lens before I went.
