Taken at Dungeness Point, Kent, late September migration.
Canon EOS 40D EF500mm f/4L IS USM + 1.4x
ISO 400 f5.6 1/6400, in RAW, manual focus!
I have no idea quite what the lead Black Tern was up to. Maybe, for a few seconds it thought it was a roller!
10% of the image was cropped to lose an out of focus bird on the left and into a very bright sun.

That's a little bit bizarre isn't it? I like the three different poses, they make a fairly ordinary shot a lot more interesting. eric

Very unusual, can't help but study it in detail, position and poses of the birds is great.

Good capture, think the one in the front is just showing off!
