Another Least Tern from Sandy Hook. Or rather, same tern as the one I posted yesterday, different frame, on the downstroke. These guys really do fly fast. But what I failed to mention yesterday is that he was flying into a 15 knot breeze, which helped to slow him down considerably. This one is 87% of full-frame. C&C appreciated.

Another great photo Bill. Nice BG, sharp and HA is great...it looks as if it is looking at you taking its photo. The only thing I would like is more room at the top and right.
Absolutely stunning, Bill. I like this even more than the last one, especially because of the head turn.
Killer flight image. As good as it gets.
Great image Bill! I like the IQ, HA, wing position and BG.
Wow, Bill, this is impressive. Love the head turn and the graduated green BG is appealing. Your EXP is right on the money.
You really nailed these, Bill. A great BIF view of these fast guys and the little head turn and BG take it over the top.
Great wing position ... can be tough to get with these little guys!
Excellent detail, exposure and BG as well but killer head turn is what puts it over the top for me!
Congrats! :cheers:
Bill - great detail, sharpness, IQ and HA. Congrats on this one!
