The last shot is absolutely terrific! But they're all really really good. It looks as if you were very close to them. I never knew they had ridges on their bill like that - fish caught in there don't stand a chance I reckon... Wild Birds of Europe: https://photography-on-the.net …showthread.php?p=19371752

I always see them, well, skimming! Nice light and color on these.. great detail. You get really close with the 400mm.. .... are you in a bird suit  Shar824 wrote in post #10639088 Absolutely wonderful shots Miles, I couldn't pick a favorite if I had to though they're all great. Thanks so much! These birds are in a protected nesting area and there must be over a thousand in a 2 acre spot. Getting close is not a problem, being too close is. Had to back up to get many of these shots - no bird suit required. Miles
