Wow. #2 is very impressive.

Very nicely done. What settings/lens were you using on the 'in flight' shots?

Great job on #2, I think you captured the terns hunting perfectly!
And I quite like #5, with the cormorants dropping in frame with the branch. Kind of makes it look like the bird on the bottom right isn't part of the in-crowd, lol.
