FLY FISHING
A fish almost escapes the beak of a bird as they both soar through the air. After being snatched from the water, the carp breaks free and is seconds away from successfully fleeing the hungry tern. The fish, on the cusp of freedom, is back inside the bird’s mouth within moments. The struggle was caught on camera by American photographer Andrew Lee, 52, of Irvine, California.
