The attack (Tern and Avocet) sent on July 08, 2012 (14:10) by Cusufai. 14 comments, 1484 views.

con Nikon TC-14E II, 1/2000 f/8.0, ISO 400, tripod. Texel, Netherlands. Specie: Sterna hirundo

Un'isoletta di conchiglie usata come sito di nidificazione da diverse specie. C'è un equilibrio invisibile nel rispetto delle distanze, così questa avocetta spostandosi un pochino rispetto a dov'era provoca l'attacco immediato della sterna; l'attaccante interviene a protezione della sua area ove un'altra Sterna è in cova indipendentemente dalle intenzioni non bellicose dell'avocetta. La situazione di luce come vedete non è ottimale (quasi un controluce); completo o dati tecnici con crop 3700 sul lato lungo per composizione e -1/3 EV Un saluto a tutti.

Thanks to all of the passage!
The shot was performed by framing the avocet and snapping in bursts when contracted lowering to avoid the attack ... numerous attempts to follow the beaten tern in fact were to no avail.
The attack takes place with a few moments of "holy spirit" to 5 or 6 m3tri tall and a fast beat that aims to strike the avocet beak on the head or neck. This moment is what I call "otherwise invisible" to the eye as it is perceived only "a missilotto white" that touches the avocet to return to share and beat again.
Even in this situation the fixed optics I found that both a limit.
A salutone at all!
Paul
