Sitting idly by the lakeside I spotted this bird coming in to land, and decided to practise my "bird in flight" skills.

Heavily cropped (40%), but these birds don't seem to land close to me. It was probably about 300 metres away.

All C&C welcome.

Nikon D3 with Nikon 300 mm/F2.8 plus 1.4 Converter. 1/2000 sec @ F4, ISO 1000, EV 0.

Nice capture Mike, never new that Cormorant used the tail as a breaking device.

That's not a BIF shot, its a bird surfing shot

and well caught.
