In an amazing display of flight skill I watched this Least Tern hover in place for at least 30 seconds.
He was about 25-30 feet (8-9 Meters) above a pond and I was hoping to capture the dive.
But it never happened; after all this work he flew further down the pond to try again.
I know how impossible it is to shoot these birds…OK almost impossible. WOW 👏👏
Thanks! He gave me a good opportunity 🙂
Incredible! You captured some graceful positioning of the wings. Great shots, Ellen.
Thanks, Jane! I was surprised at how long he hovered, an amazing skill on his part.
All three are excellent. The middle one strikes me as angelic.
Thanks, Steve! It was an amazing opportunity from a good angle.
Isn’t it amazing! The wings move quickly all the time while the head and the gaze are locked in the same position.
Quite amazing and that’s exactly how it went, Hans!
Excellent captures, Ellen!
Thank you, Greta!
