not sure about this bird name. Is it stern? tern? Anyhow, this type catching more fish than Osprey. They can swallow a fish within 30 seconds and looking for more right after it.
down and pick up the fish
in flight

Good shots. once the tern got the fish, you have only around 5 to 7 seconds to catch the action. If you can't track and focus on it, you're done.
