Prize Catch

By KingArthur
Shot captured recently while out birding at our local nature reserve.

Another frame of this Slender-billed Gull bagged as it rose after a successful plunge during an intense fishing frenzy ..... tracking and focusing had to be spot on to achieve a crisp result. Very pleased with the camera/lens delivery.

Viewing large draws you in closer.

Action Gear -
Camera: Nikon D7500
Lens: Nikkor 200-500mm at 500mm

Have a great Sunday,
Joe Smile

Timed to perfection and so well captured, Joe.
What an amazing in flight image with the fish in its beak being the icing on the cake, so to speak!
