A brilliant shot JJ, with excellent detail. So terns don't restrict their diet to fish!

Thanks, John!
The gull-billed tern is indeed a bit special, feeding mainly on insects in flight, I've also seen them regularly picking up frogs from the water surface.

To be able to achieve pristine focus under low lighting but to get the mosquito or dragonfly too is just mind blogging to me.
