Boring I know, but a flying duck. I was pleased with the sharp image as I have parkinsons tremor. God bless the IS on the canon 100/400L mk2

Thanks. I find BIF shots of Pelicans and Painted storks are easy to take, just because of their size. I keep trying to take BIF shots of terns but end up in head ache ... finding very difficult to track with the gear that I have.

Terns can be tough, I was lucky enough that there was a local site where you could stand on a small headland which stood between their nests and some of the areas that they used for hunting fish. So, you got some warning as they flew towards you plus when carrying fish they tend to be slightly more predictable in flight I think. There was one which would hunt crabs right in the shallows so would hover just say ten yards where I was standing.
Sadly last year they seemed to get crowded out by black headed gulls so there were hardly any to be seen. Fingers crossed they will manage a return this year!
