Arctic Tern passing fish

Taken on the Farne Islands, the tern was sitting on the wall with a sandeel in its mouth. It was looking around and the second bird, (its mate I think) came and took the fish from it. The action lasted a second or two and it was over

Canon 7D canon 300mm f2.8 lens, f5, 1/1000 sec

Ron, I like the action, perhaps you'd consider cropping closer since the wings are clipped. Good observation and a moment well caught.

Hello Ron.

Agree with Des its a good action shoot and well caught, I would also try looking at cropping it a bit closer.
