Default TERN FISHING series

M8, VISOFLEX3 TELYT 280mm f4.8

This little White-Winged Tern, kept me busy for about 4 or 5 hours the other day. I sat on the bank of the river and watched him repeatedly come swooping around, and diving into the water to catch small fish. I eventually developed a reasonably good understanding of his technique and set the camera up in anticipation of his next move. These are the results of my patience.
Thanks for viewing,
MIKE
