I had a bit of fun watching the terns feeding this afternoon. A beach pool was full of sprats and there were places where the surface was fizzing with them they were so tightly packed. This seemed to be a good survival tactic since the birds didn't dive on the dense shoals and went for stragglers. Even then it was surprising how often they missed the target and even when they scored they often lost a grip and the fish fell back.
Dropped fish were just ignored for the main part and there were a number of freshly dead sprats around the perimeter.
This is one that didn't get away.
