Bristol Zoo, Inca Terns

[AndyMulhearn]

There's an aviary where Inca Terns and Penguins cohabit. It's quite a small area so no need for a long lens but the downside is that tracking is harder than usual for relatively big birds and in many cases they're flying below you so you're shooting down on them. All shot with my 7D2 and 70-200 f4 L.

And yes, that is a hair clip it's got in it's beak...

The pose in the first is really nice Andy. Perhaps desaturating the rocks a little would help it stand out a bit more?

Thanks for looking Alans and Tom

I'll have a look at reducing the saturation on the green rocks and see what it does...

Nicely timed shots. Agree about the background in #1.
