Very small catch, hence lots of trips to sustain themselves.
They swallow as they go, make a u-turn and come around again.

Great shots, I like the second one the most.
Thanks, Rudi. Their flexibility and flying skills are quite something.
Impressive photos, Ellen! They certainly are quick!!
Thanks, Belinda, glad that you liked them. They are fast, but fortunately the Skimmers mostly fly in a predictable pattern which gives us a little edge.
