    Most of the birds appeared to be collecting sprats as opposed to sand eels.
    All C&C welcome.

    Nice to see the fish in the mouth.
    I wish for more detail under the wing.
    Light looks like it was midday sun/harsh light so it makes it hard to expose the underbelly of the tern.
    Solid image.

    Great wing position. I too would prefer more detail. Fish in the beak is a bonus.

    These guys arent easy to get in the right position to get them lit up well. They have to dip down as they fly by to get the light on them. The pose is nice and the fish is a bonus. Keep workin it.
