This really is a small fish, I guess the Black Skimmer was about to feed a freshly hatched chick with it. :)

That is a nice clean flight shot and you are likely right about the size of the chick.
Cheers

Axel, beautiful pose and BG, really like the inclusion of grasses just below and the red beak looks vibrant against the greenery.  Food item is icing on cake.

Nice setting for this bird. Great exposure.
You cannot save time, you can only spend it wisely, or perhaps, freeze a moment of it forever in a photograph

Awesome shot! I love the grass strands that enter the bottom of the frame. Good for you for not just going for the completely clean canvas and cloning them out. They add a lot.
Thanks for looking,

We usually see these with an ocean BG. The green makes it explode out of the screen. Fine job.
