    Hi Peter - congrats on getting one BIF with meal.
    These guys are fast and tricky - really gotta get that eye to be visible - catchlight is even better - tough though!!
    Like the wing position and HA looks good.
    Looks like it might have a colour cast on my screen.
    Practice, Practice Practice.

    That is quite the mouthful.
    Nice job of tracking the bird.

    Thanks all, yeah i know its not he best in the world, this was a relative crop and out of about 9 shots in the sequence this was the only one that was close to sharp, my god i cant believe how these things turn on a dime!!

    was certainly a challenge!

    but overall very pleased to have caught my first BIF with a meal, even if it is a tern and not an osprey :p
