    I like that last shot of the sunlight captured on his eye and beak.
    Lovely series of shots Gunilla!

    Great photos of the Common Tern - we only see them in non-breeding plumage down here.

      Thank you Mick! They're gone now and they'll be back in May maybe.

      Tack Hanne! Den heter fisktärna på svenska och fjordterne på danska enligt Nature Gate. Ha en skön dag! Kram, Gunilla

    Briliant shots Gunilla. A shame the terns have gone for another year, but something to look foward to.

      Thank you Stewart! They migrate mostly to South Africa, but some have ended up in Australia too.
