Thank you kindly everyone.
Canoncan really liking the 20D, has way more options than I will ever use as I only use the manual settings. I have been burnt or blown out too many times on automatic.
This is going to be an on going project. I have been studying the gulls now over the last week so I can better predict their actions. Call me crazy, but I think they are studying me too. Have other Ideas so stay tuned
