But you can't really say anything about the colour with shots like these. The camera's auto white-balance doesn't work when there's just blue sky and a little bird speck (compensating for the blue makes the bird look reddish; I just upped the saturation to see if there was some colour to discover) I guess a shiny white seagull would look dark grey or reddish brown in that light too. I think the lens makes the dark marks look broader, it's the same fuzziness as at the edges.
It's a good lens that Tommy used - giving results without colour fringing, so you don't realise how microscopically tiny the bird is on the digital equivalent of the film frame.
