Birds stealing the show on Flickr.Byline: RICHARD DOWN BIRDS have flown into the frame this week on the Daily Post's online Flickr gallery. Lee Carus's stunning shot of swans and seagulls differs from many of the images seen on the internet because they were taken on traditional film camera. Lee said: "I was meaning to get into film for some time. It is all very mysterious and a bit scary when you come from digital to film. "There is a quality to the grain you simply cannot get and the light colour rendition is excellent." Lydie's more comic shot captures a military line of seagulls being marshalled by the feathered drill sergeant (Mil.) a noncommissioned officer whose office it is to instruct soldiers as to their duties, and to train them to military exercises and evolutions. (Mil.) See under Drill. See also: Drill Sergeant closest to the camera. And, just for variety, Ian Neal's shot at Southport's British Musical Fireworks fireworks: see pyrotechnics. fireworks Explosives or combustibles used for display. Of ancient Chinese origin, fireworks evidently developed out of military rockets and explosive missiles and accompanied the spread of military explosives westward to display takes some beating. * TO JOIN the group, visit www.flickr.com/groups/and look for Liverpool Daily Post The Liverpool Daily Post is a newspaper published by Trinity Mirror on Merseyside in England.
