Precision flying (Sterna dougallii)

These Roseate Terns (along with 50 or so of their pals) were diving for fish near some nets just down from a bridge. It was a hot sunny day and I got a bit burned but plenty of these birds in flight on a nice day. It was worth the effort!

Superb shot, Dan :clap: :t: ! Don't get to see these too often on mainland Taiwan but they're fairly common in summer around the Penghu Islands in the Taiwan Strait.
