Its flies just above the water and dips the lower half of its beak in and proceeds to casually “skim” the surface. The moment its lower jaw hits a fish, its entire head snaps back, its mouth snaps shut and hopefully a fish goes down its throat. Glad I’m not a fish! This is filmed in 8x slowmo. When these birds skim, they are fast. | Mark Smith Photography | Facebook
