One of a sequence of shots which range from the start of the dive to the point just before entry but taken at distance they are not all completely sharp.
A waterspout forms after a head-first dive from this Forster's Tern. It was successful and you can see the minnow in its beak...
This is the closest I've come to getting this shot with my manual-focus long lens. Now if I could just get the osprey to dive toward me instead of away from me.

A Gannet starts to fold it's wings back in readiness to enter the water from a rapid dive... hopefully to catch a fish.
To the right are pinnacles known as Church Rock.

The terrapins love to be in the water. They have webbed feet and relatively flat shells, adapting them well for swimming. Each terrapin weighs just over a pound (454 g).

I had the pleasure of going to Sweet Springs Nature Reserve in Los Osos today where I ran into my friends Alice, Marlin, and Sam. Among other sights, we were treated to fishing terns and a Bald Eagle fly-by.
This is an Elegant Tern, Thalasseus elegans.
This bird flew by a number of times, assumed the diving position a few times, but did not splash down nearby until just before sunset. This dive happened early in the afternoon, but the Osprey aborted the attempt and flew off across the lake.
Early October 2024 and a revisit to Worcestershire to photograph Kingfishers. Weather was dull and cloudy.
A different Kingfisher turned up and was more skilled in catching fish.
The Common Kingfisher is a small bird with unmistakable plumage. Its back is bright metallic blue and its breast is a coppery-brown. The beak is long and black, though females have a red patch at the base.
