A Snowy Egret lets a minnow slide down it's beak.
Sony a1, Sony 600 f4 @ f4, 1/5000 sec. is always a good idea with Snowy Egrets and Tricolored Herons skimming over the water picking out minnows on the fly, iso 200.
Manual exposure, "Tracking ON, AF ON" assigned button pressed on the back of the a1 to get tracking locked on the Snowy.
I could also have used "Wide" focus area and the rear button focus.

Really nice. Not only good action and great focus, but your exposure is terrific. Than is not easy with that bird and the dark blue water. Even with zebras, with a bird on the fly-good job!
