There were hundreds of skimmers wintering at the beach in South Carolina. It was a slightly cloudy day and skimmers were very active at the sunrise. I loved this photo where the skimmer flew straight at me, sidelit with the rising sun.

It really shows how aerodynamic the look head-on.

I hope you managed to duck before getting skimmed, Rajan! Brilliant capture of the head on approach.
