Skimmer head down

I'm not sure why his head is tilted down, but it made for a good photo opportunity for me. Skimmers are fun to watch!

Yes Linda that's certainly an interesting and unusual flight pose you've captured there.

I've only seen these performing on the television and how I'd love to see one for real, their feeding behaviour just fascinates me.

Many thanks for capturing this behaviour and sharing the image with us.
 
Awesome photo! Maybe it's head is tilted because it made contact with a fish? Great shot, well done!
