Re: Little Tern

Hello Stan;

Well captured...

What a shame there wasn't a little more contrast avalable in the sky to set-off these elegant birds; but you gotta live with what we're given...

Cheers...

Re: Little Tern

After struggling with getting a shot of a swallow yesterday I understand and admire you getting such a good photo.

Re: Little Tern

I assume that was the short hover before the dive Stan? Nicely caught and I like the angle of the wings, shrouding the head. Did you ask it to do a turn?
