You have a good eye for a nice composition, Arun - something you can't buy.

Very nice shots indeed Arun!

Doing Science !

In this shot Black Skimmer “A9” is seen on Norton Point (Martha’s Vineyard). She was banded in the same area in 2017 as a chick. It takes two years to mature for breeding. A number of ornithologists have been following the banded birds. This is the first re-sighting.

Jeff, normally we don't like seeing rings in our "artistic" shots, but here it is to be applauded!

No! It's feet are under water.

No! It's feet are under water.

Great shots Aron!

No! It's feet are under water.

There may still be some lift in the wings to slow down the effect of gravity though. Does flight start/stop when the wings are having an effect or when the feet are off the water or ground?

No point splitting hairs. These are flying (on Farne and Seahouses): fulmar; shag; guillemot and puffin.
