Birds In Flight - Post Yours!

Forster's Terns looking for shad today. Comparing my pics with y'all's makes me feel like I'm going one on one with Michael Jordan. I just can't get the sharpness y'all get.

I don't get it either. I can tell you though that your shots are stellar compared to my attempts at bif.

But you do have the action so that's a good start! Looks like difficult light to work with and maybe significant crop?

Bright sunshine and I was in a backlighted position. Yes, heavy cropping, using a 100-300 zoom at 300.

That's a beauty of a bird and a great shot.
I'm really happy to see you posting here, Sid. I'm off for the night now (or else I will fall asleep in the chair!).

Thanks Levina, there will be more to come as there has been a bit of a kite influx recently and some have even been swooping for food, but they are so different to shoot than the buzzards I've been struggling but still it's fun!

Super as always, Sid. One of my favourite birds too!

Thanks Jack, they are really good looking birds and bloody massive when you're up close!
