Arctic Tern
Another one from Orkney last week. Haven't tried bird flight shots before but having the time and the opportunity spent a few hours practising on terns and fulmars. Fairly standard tern image, I know but any comments welcome.

Nice sharp shot, with even light. Only wishing for the tern to come at your rather than away form you :wavey:

Agree with Helge, but a nicely exposed image :toast:

So difficult to get birds in flight this is nice and sharp though, hard to do but doesn't stop you trying, nice when it goes well.

To be a classic the comments re flight direction are right, but you've got everything else pretty spot on so nice stuff.
