A Shinner stepped up to the plate,
But was it for this,
Type of taking the piss,
That so many men met their fate?

High speed photos of piscivorous birds doing their thing in the waters of southern California by Salah Baazizi.

Despite seeming to have been taken at close range, the photographer uses a 400mm super telephoto lens, positioning himself far from the terns, gulls and herons at work.
