I applied a pretty ambitious crop on this image, but I think it holds up ok for web viewing. In the moment I was not able to reduce the ISO, but at least there is absolutely no motion blur with a shutter speed of 1/4000.
EOS R6, RF100-400 @400mm, 1/4000s, f/8.0, ISO 3200, AV with electronic shutter.

Lovely shot.
Esp. the wings spread so wide and no motion blur …

Love it! Well done mate.

These are from Saturday. Didn't see the targeted birds and on top of this all seabirds where flying on a distance not optimal for 500mm lens. In some wind/ocean conditions they may pass at just 10 meters away on that place (not that day ~2h waiting).
Sooty Tern and Brown Booby.
All 3 photos are from distance 75 meters, 100% crops.

Very nice series, ISv. Between the second and the third, I prefer the last one for the position of the bird's wings.

I completely understand your point: if there is nothing else worth for endorsement the position of the wings is important - I shouldn't posting such a crap but there was nothing else that day .
Thanks for the comment anyway!

I like your sens of humour. Keep posting.

Really nice. #2 is my fave - maybe because of the wing position

I'm not a fisherman, so like your cormorant
I've learned from a birder, that the perfect cormorant pic is, when you can get the sun into their eyes and make them glow. So yours close to it, but has room for slight improvement

... the perfect cormorant pic is, when you can get the sun into their eyes and make them glow. ...

Not in flight, but one photo from years ago that came to my mind. Could have been better though with the glow.
I posted it in the other thread.

Here's a Cormorant from this month, banking so I got part of the upper wing (R5 + 100-500)
