Cracking shot and a shutter speed of about 1/3000sec if my maths is correct. That lens must be fast, what is it?

Not a fast lens. My Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 @ 290mm, F8, 800 ISO, 1/3000 sec.

Great timing and great focus. Birds in flight are so difficult to capture sharp. Check out my own attempt, uploaded a couple of days ago.

Nice capture. Smaller birds are tough to get in focus, especially when relatively close. This Tern is a small bird that darts around quickly. No other photographers were even trying to catch it. After getting frustrated trying to track it at 500mm I backed off to the 290mm used here.
