“Focus”
When the Caspian Tern sees a fish he wants, he does this. Stops, turns it’s head down, puts the wings out to stop, and starts the dive. From many photographs of this action, I have noted that the sharp beak spears the fish often like an Anhinga. I have never read this, but I have photographed this. A fishing machine. Unless they are going to take the fish to young or mate, they swallow in in a manner of a second or two.
