TITLE: Skimming

The flight of Black Skimmers is among the most beautiful and graceful fishing techniques
among see birds. The birds hover for fairly long stretches directly above the water surface to hunt for
small fish, insects and crustaceans by submerging only the lower mandible.
This image was particularly tricky to shoot, as the bird was directly coming towards me at high speed - leaving a beautiful skimming trail behind it.
