Top Shot: Watch the Sky
Top Shot features the photo with the most votes from the previous day’s Daily Dozen, 12 photos chosen by the Your Shot editors from thousands of recent uploads. Our community votes for their favorite photo from the selection, and the Top Shot is showcased on the @natgeoyourshot Instagram account.
Your Shot photographer Pawan Kumar photographed this scene of common terns flying overhead of a riverside ghat. Common terns migrate south to places such as Delhi, India where this photo was taken, for warmer temperatures and then during the winter months travel back to Europe for breeding.
