Birds in flight

The skies above Skomer island were very busy this year :wink:

I had a lot of bird in flight shots on my hard drive that were either badly composed or a bit small in frame so rather than bin them I kind of recycled them into something a bit more useful :wink:

I cut and pasted the birds onto the background of the centre puffin to fill it's emptiness.
I resized and flipped some to make it look a bit more believable.

Fun image and a great idea, rather then getting rid of them. The are all nice and sharp.
