Seabirds Watching the Yacht Race

BEST VIEWED LARGE! This was taken a couple of summers ago during one of Dysart Boat Club's weekend races. The past two summers have been characterised by disappointing weather for racing and yacht photography (too much rain, too much wind, not enough wind etc). This year the club has a Sail-in on July 10th and 11th, as part of Celebrating Fife 2010. Weather permitting, it might be a good date for a Flickr Fife meet-up.? As well as yacht racing, the historic sailing ship 'The Reaper' from Anstruther (a Fyvie boat) will be there as will a lifeboat from the RNLI. There should be a brass band, piper and sea shanty singing. What's there not to like for a photographer?

 

P.S. the spectator on the left is a gull, whilst the one on the right is a male eider duck.
