Taken from a beach in the north of the island. We found a feeding frenzy going on so I had time to try few flight shots with the 500 yesterday. Shame my arm felt like it had dropped off by the end tho. (Note to self, take tripod out the car next time!) :lol:
c&c very welcome.

Numbers two and three are really wonderful. Love the action in the second, and the fact the bird is placed in a dip in the water.

Great shot, the eye of the bird looks very sharp, great timing and I really like the wing position and colours.:)...You hand-held these in-flights? Glad to hear you you didn't rupture something..;)
