Sea gulls, ducks, and geese are good to practice on since they are so large and easily approachable. (And,...they are everywhere!) The things to concentrate on are good feather detail and an eye (or both), which is tack-sharp. A shutter speed of 1/500 sec. will freeze wing beats of large birds. A good place to get gulls taking off is at a marina, where they will often perch on pilings. You can usually walk slowly toward them with the camera in position, watching them through your lens. As you get closer, you will notice them get a little fidgety just before they take flight. With the camera set to continuous, start firing as soon as they take off.
