The racing car of seabirds

The Tern- very quick and corners like a house fly

Took me a few attempts to get on in flight - I finally managed an acceptable image - yesterday morning- slightly grey day and a little cold

Nice one Les! They are pretty swift birds, so well done!

Very nice capture and I agree, they're very quick. Earlier this year I must've stood at one spot for what felt like an hour trying to capture those lil buggers zipping around diving for fish. If I find them I'll post a shot.

Well caught action! I've been trying to catch one in flight, but so far no luck.
