October 2007 - Bought the Canon 30d this week and tried it out on the Black headed gulls at my local park. For effective action shots look out for certain repetitiive behaviours. Find a spot where the light is at its best and wait. Black headed gulls are so quarrelsome when it comes to the ownership rights of posts that you dont have to wait long.
