p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Elegant Tern's dive (+1 more)

It was a great day for me to sit on the ground, enjoy cool wind, wait for the terns' feeding time, and snap
some shots when they started diving into water for fish.
One thing I have noticed with elegant tern was that it can dive anytime it see the fish. It can just fly by
quick and suddenly change direction and dive down.
Forster's Terns are more likely hovering a bit.

All shots are taken with my trusted 1D4 and 300 F2.8 II.

Excellent set! I like them all, but find #5 especially striking because of the almost perfect symmetry.
