It's been a while since I posted a BIF - so here is a diving gannet. BIFF maybe: Bird In Free Fall!

On A Wing and A Prayer

[ on a wing and a prayer: If you do something on a wing and a prayer, you do it in the hope that you will succeed, even though you do not have what you need to do it. ]

- On a wing and a prayer - Idioms by The Free Dictionary

not planning on BIF, but when the mallards started to fly, I acted " on a wing and a prayer "

and this was the result

( darn reaction time delay )

cropped and a little pp ( clarity only )

Shooting hummingbirds in flight isn't enough of a challenge so I shoot with a macro lens.
