Juvenile tern with a big dinner



1D-X with 400 DO II + 2X III. f/8 at 1/2500sec ISO 3200. hand held. processed with DPP 4.3. Hope you like it

Wish it was not flying away (even if only just), but the HA and eye contact make up for it.
Looks like it's a greedy bird, not a hungry one.

I agree with Akos, amazing what these birds will eat or try to eat. Thank you for sharing, Arash.

Amazing what they can swallow. I agree with Akos that the flying away is the biggest issue with the shot but the head angle, great light and inclusion of the super-sized prey make up for that in spades...

Terrific wing position with both wings nicely visible. Lovely light with nice sharpness in the head and fish. A fine image! TFS!

That is a big fish for a little Tern. Nice light and wing position. I agree with comments above.
