What Caspian Terns can do in the air

The Caspian Terns are back at Osprey Marsh! In the spring there were two. Now there are two pairs and two young ones. I watched them fling and fishing. Their flying skills are amazing. I will try to show in the next posts what they can do in the air.
This second picture shows one of the Terns ready to dive.
Thanks for looking!

Bonjour Mario,
Cette image est rèellement impressionnante. Le déploiement des ailes et la position du coprs montrent la rapidité et la nervosité du vol de l'oiseau. L'éclairage est très bien maitrisé. il donne une grande force à l'image et restitue le plumage blanc sans surexposition.
Bravo

Hello Mario,
Excellent capture of this Tern in flight.
Because I know how fast these birds do change there direction, I know how difficult it is to react on that.
You did a perfect job by capturing the bird in this wonderful pose.
Sharpness and lighting are excellent and due to that the feather details are most wonderful.
Lovely light and soft blue sky.
Perfect composition and I am looking foreward with great pleasure to see more of the images you did take of the Terns.
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes,
Harry

Hi Mario,beautiful capture, cheer

Hi Mario, quite the acrobat you have here. This is well presented, the way you've cropped him in going edge to edge on the vertical but giving him room to the left. Your exposure is very good giving us excellent detail, even in this difficult twist of his.

Thanks, John

Hi Mario

Nice shot taken while the bird was at a great angle. Good exposure, but a tad over sharpened.

Hi Mario,
A very stunning action photo where the angle of the bird makes it very special. I am sure this must have been a difficult moment to capture. Love the lighting on the wings and the extreem sharp details.
