Hi all. Here's another Crested tern, this time with its prey (unsure what type of fish?). I would have liked more separation between its head and the prey, but that's life:bg3:
D500/500PF, 1/4000th sec@f5.6, iso1600, manual mode HH. Thanks as always for looking and commenting.
With the bird turning and facing away we have no idea if it is holding a fish or a ?? or a piece of plastic trash ... This is an insta-delete for me.
with love, artie
ps: you were likely the victim of poor wind direction ...
Hi Artie: Definitely a fish (according my wife:bg3:...the tail is in its beak). However, with the bird facing away, I agree with you.
A nice moment. But do wish for a better angle over all.
Me too John:bugeyed:
Hi Paul ... for sure an unusual catch .
Shooting angle not ideal , as you said yourself . Other than that it does look alright .
Regarding the fish ... I try to guess , I would say this is either a surgeon fish or butterfly fish species . Looking at the form of the fins .....I would more it could be a surgeon .

Hi Andreas. Thank you. Still not sure what type of fish.
