Here's one from a few weeks ago. The adult bird (full black cap, left) caught this fish only to get dunked by the juvenile bird (white cap, right) and have its fish stolen! 

Old skool Canon 400mm f/5.6 on EOS 1DIV
1/4000 at f/5.6, ISO 400

Thanks for looking!

A great action shot Dorian, it's amazing the size of fish Terns can swallow.

Very nice Dorian. I see a strong vertical of just the right bird as well.

I was just thinking the same!  Either way, beautiful capture Dorian.
