This was one of 100s of Crested Terns that were diving on bait fish that had been driven inshore by some Australian Salmon.

Very nice flight shot. It's good to see the catchlight and the eye separation from the dark cap.

Another beauty!
Great detail, wing position, and even a catchlight - very tough to get with terns.
Well done!

Nice exposure Rob. Great light on the face and eye. Really tough to do with terns. Nice and sharp with great DOF. Well done.
