Comment Another protected area within close reach from my home is the European Reserve "Federseeried". Approximately 200 bird species are found here at different times of the year. About 15-20 pairs of the Common tern breed here. When waiting for them to get food for the offspring, I had to make a calculation: Every bird goes hunting about every 30 mins. It'll be successful about every fifth swoop. My camera will be in the right position and fully focused on the bird about every 20th time (as they are so superfast!). Fully focused doesn't necessarily mean the bird has caught something. This should tell you the image you see is a nugget... -- AWeith (talk) 17:39, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
