psquared Posted December 5, 2007 Share #1 Posted December 5, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Actually, I was the one doing the flight training ... training to take pictures of birds in flight. These Forster's terns were circling and fishing. The first one got what it wanted. [ATTACH]64301[/ATTACH] But the second one came up with a ... twig ... which it jettisoned promptly.

imported_peter_m Posted December 6, 2007 Share #5 Posted December 6, 2007 Peter, I think you passed the flight training Awesome catch on both of them. It sure isn't easy to catch birds in flight and get any kind of good picture. The second one looks to be a young one? Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
psquared Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted December 7, 2007 Thanks, Peter. Lots of luck in getting these two. I won't say out of how many. The second one does look younger. Maybe that's why it came up with a twig and not a fish. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
