Guess what, I was sat zzzzzzzing at VP when I got a text from Mark - 'two Black Terns at lcyd'. What an eerie coincidence and why hadn't I stayed?? I took the gamble they would linger and fired off! The gamble paid off, they were still there on arrival :-)
Only problem was, they were generally quite distant - the sort of distance where autofocus is a waste of time - so thanks to good old manual focus, a wing and a prayer, here's the record shot results!
In aviation terms - definitely a 'near miss' but I guess they know what the're doing!
Whether it's mid air or off the water, a bad day to be a fly!
Various backgrounds in use - either the trees....
Or the island.....
A bit of both!
Banking shots.....
The elusive upperwing angle......
Once in a while, they landed on the island for a rest - giving my aching arms one as well!
Many thanks Mark for the heads up!! Oh - there were three Arctic Terns present too!
