Black Skimmer Chicks.

MKIII, 700mm, 1/1600. f/7.1, ISO 500

Aww. Someone getting nipped in the butt ? :bg3: I like the comp Mike. I wish #2 would have showed us it's beak too, but it's still a great image. I love the beahavior shots. I hope to get some skimmer chicks at this age eventually.

Mike:

Great fun here. Lots of interesting title options!

Well exposed, sharp, fun action. Agree with Herb, would like to see the beak of the right hand bird.

Might consider a small crop up of the OOF foreground

Hope to see more of these guys.

Cheers

My first view of this species so young. They certainly will make some
radical changes in their development. Looks like a little sibling rivalry
in this remarkable shot (birds from two nests)?

This is an awesome behaviour shot!
Here is a darker version, cropped off the top, bottom and right and applied some blurr to BG. WDYT ?

Thank you Ofer for the repost. I find it much improved.

I like the interaction, low angle and sharpness. Well done Mike.
