The little spider in the top photo is probably a male ready to rush in and do the deed. His problem would be to escape after the event and not be eaten.

Thanks for posting Inc.

Good shots Inc, the quality of the optics in that lens is excellent.
Which settings are you using in your camera?
Are you using nef ?
Try to set the camera in manual and adjust shutter speed and aperture to suit the conditions.
You can use ISO 400 without much problems but over that try to adjust the exposure far to the right in the histogram without blow out the highlights.
Seagulls are very good subject to learn to esposure the whites and keep details on the feathers.
Keep posting

They are coming good Inc.
With the quality of that lens you can make a big crop without loosing much details.
Cheers
