Arctic Tern
Managed to get this by laying flat on the ground. The alternative was to get attacked.

This shot was taken at 10.15pm Spitsburgen. Never did get any darker than this.

As shot except slight crop and some USM

iD3 ISO 800 f5.6 1/5000 500mm

Very nice. Good to see the eye. It easily goes completely dark.

Well done.
