Arctic Tern

[weepete]

Taken on a recent trip to Orkney, where we had a walk along some of the lovley beaches. There were quite a few terns about, who would shout at you if you approched the head of the beach. I got a few snaps, then left them in peace.

Thanks Tony, they came really close, so was a good opportunity to photograph them.

Thanks Jeff, it did indeed. I do have a bit of a soft spot for terns too!

Very nice catch. Love the open beak shots.

Thanks denum, yeah I like them too, adds a bit of extra drama IMO
