I don't know, if some yellow-legged gulls are vegetariean or even vegan
This one was flying over and looking at the vegetable fields.
200D, EF-S55-250mm STM, @250mm, f/8 and f/16, 1/800 and 400, ISO400
Vegetarian? Absolutely, they eat fries in the parking lot at Mc Donald's.
Very nice shots!

Yet another heron BIF.
But this time acting as "frog airlines", even though it seems to be "never come back airlines" from the point of view of the poor frog
5D4, 100-400L II+TC, @560mm.
And now, the new FIF... Fish In Flight Airlines...
Yet again it seems to be one-way...
I was focussing on dragonfly DIFs but heard a loud splash. The next moment I saw the heron, the AF snapped on it at once and so I could get that sequence.
And ISO6400 is something I never used before with the 5D4. But the results are pretty clean.
R6m2, @500mm, f/11, 1/1250, ISO6400

I don't shoot Gulls in flight unless I am bored. But, the Blackheaded came straight at me, and the R5 just locked on with eyeAF. I had the RF100-400mm zoomed out to 300mm and the bird still filled the frame.

And these from today: went there for the White-tailed Tropic bird (never appeared!) and spent just 30-40 minutes (you will see why in the last photo).
After taking some shots I noticed two Red-tailed to go in one of their "tents"- not tent but also not burrow, they are using natural formations under the rocks...
And found what you will see in that last shot. This is definitely not from birders! Can of Bud Light?!! Could not take it off - I had to reach behind of the birds! What kind of monkey can do this (sorry monkeys, you don't drink beer). After that (I was really mad and lost my enthusiasm) I just called my doughtier to come and pick me off (they went with my wife for lunch in the nearby town). Took some more photos when waiting for them. Very strong wind, some drizzling for a short time but that can of beer was what killed me... Very disappointing trip. Now I have to find a time go there in earlier hours (when the birds are still in the ocean for fishing) to remove that can!

They are in formation - preparing for their "dance"! They will eventually make a round in somewhat formation and after that will start the display.

I studied Latin at school a couple of centuries ago but don’t recall Milvus. Nice photos of a Red Kite.
