These 4 photographs, shot in order, show the ultimate landing. But then I noticed something…

Maybe it’s not a 10 after all.

In the last image the bird twisted towards me. I noticed in the first 3 shots he had a small fish (or something) in his bill, the last one it was gone. But there was no motion of him eating, these first 3 are split second images the last being  2 seconds later.

Did he eat really fast, or did he do the unthinkable and drop his food…????
