kobay-ashimaru.bsky.social @kobay-ashimaru.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I have hundreds of diving Kingfisher shots and they don't do that, they fold their wings back long before the hit the water, so they don't damage them, the look like a streamlined missile before the beak touches the water, sorry to be a killjoy 200
