A couple of Terns were feeding on some small fish, not very close to me, but I was practicing with the Sigma 150-500mm and took some shots. I found it very difficult to keep them in frame and maintain some focus. This is the best one out of a numerous attempts. What do you think? I'll post 5 shots so it will take a few minutes to upload.

Nice set, i have the Sigma 150-500 if you can get closer to the subject you will find the lens performs better and your shots will be more detailed, hope this helps.

Pretty darn good from a distance, Sunfish 33, they are not easy to capture, you did well with the long lens
