    We think of birds that hunt as very successful yet they miss a lot. Failing to find catch food is not an option, they must succeed. In this set I'm showing two of 5 failures of a turn fishing and one sequence from a successful dive.

    Terns do miss a fair bit. Especially when you watch young Terns practising, hopeless until they get the hang of it. Nice shots there Morris.
