Man these guys are fast and can change direction anytime they want. And was this fun :clap
After seeing great shots from Steve, Jeff et. al. had to give it a try.

My 1st shot at this kinda BIF only fair lots of pretty background piccies, but no BIFs :D
Here's what made the cut:

A Single

A Double

Almost a Triple :D

And guys the only way I can see to get their eyes is to wait till they rest :D

Good shots, Ben. After the boat trailer knocked me down, I messed with shooting some terns. Little Bs to catch, so I think yours are great.

Gosh I haven't worked up everything. Will post my terns, in a tern, my tern for terns................have I over used that word enough, smile.

good shots.

Now, please, all, I have a butt shot up, only angelo has commented so far. I worked very hard on the presentation. Please look at it. Then please respond, just sign your name, so I know who has been there, long comments are not needed, but ............butt............

Nice series Ben :thumb :thumb


Aren't those lil buggers quick? :uhoh Not to mention, small....lol

Yep, they are fast like a jet and change direction so fast you can easily lose them in the VF :dunno Using full zoom, I usually wind up with a third of my tern shots being of a small piece of wing and bare sky....lol

Nice egret butt too.....lol
