Image
R5, 500f4, 1.4x, 1/2000s, f/5.6, ISO 2000, manual

Photographed on Long Island, unlike Terns, the Skimmers don't have chicks yet. The high ISO performance of the R5 looks pretty good to me.

As has been said this is a great banking image, and a terrific comp to show it at it's best. The deep black and white contrast very well with the soft green background.

Another excellent image, Axel; great wing positions, plus a slight head turn toward the viewer, is a plus. The black, white, and orange, on
the skimmer, contrast well with the green background, as well.
