@CarlBovisNature @JonesHowdareyou I think it’s called sideslipping - a technique to lose height rapidly and still conduct an orderly landing, albeit a tad harder then normal.
@CarlBovisNature It's funny, their appearance (with the beak and the eyes that look sort of stoned) makes them look sort of comical, but they seem to be pretty formidable predators.
@CarlBovisNature Awesome picture! His fish must be a little side heavy!😄
@CarlBovisNature Cross-wind landings are tough, especially for these little guys.
