Another test-shot with my "vintage" Tokina telephoto lens. This Llama was photographed in a field full of sheep near the town of Reedley in North-West England. HFF to all viewers :-) Camera: Nikon D500 Lens: Tokina SD 400mm f5.6 (EFL 600mm). Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

A male mallard on the Leeds-Liverpool canal near Reedley in North-West England. This is one of a series of test-shots with my new "vintage" lens, a Tokina 400mm (EFL 600mm) telephoto lens which was designed for film cameras and originally released in 2009. These film lenses can be bought very cheaply now (I got this one for £75) and many of them work perfectly on a modern digital camera. Camera: Nikon D500 Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.

The European herring gull (Larus argentatus) is a large gull up to 26 inches (66 cm) long. One of the best known of all gulls along the shores of Western Europe, it was once abundant. It breeds across Northern Europe, Western Europe, Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Baltic states. Some European herring gulls, especially those resident in colder areas, migrate further south in winter, but many are permanent residents, e.g. in Ireland, Britain, Iceland, or on the North Sea shores. European herring gulls have a varied diet including fish, crustaceans and dead animals as well as some plants. While herring gull numbers appear to have been harmed in recent years, possibly by fish population declines and competition, they have proved able to survive in human-adapted areas and can often be seen in towns acting as scavengers.
