Northern Fulmar

Northern Fulmar

It is quite a challenge to photograph the Fulmars which breed on the cliff face at Hunstanton in Norfolk. Although the Fulmars can be seen in flight from the grassy areas above the cliff face, they tend to drop out of sight quickly as they fly back to the nests. It is a question of luck as to whether the camera is pointing in the right direction with correct lighting, focus etc.
