White fronted Tern BIF's

[nzmacro]

Had a cyclone go through here for three days and wanted to get up to the estuary to check on the Kingfisher and a few perches. All good but they were taken their time further out.

So a few white fronted Tern's it was to be. The Caspian Tern's have the orange beak and different colours and details compared to these Tern's.



1: Flying through

2: In a pair

3: You follow me

4: Just cruising by

5: That's not snow

6: Coming in to touch down

So no a lot out and about yet after the cyclone, but they will come for sure. All the best folks.

Gorgeous! And in case I haven't mentioned it before, I love BIFs.

Really neat shots. You can see how the leading edge of their wings curve down, forming a more efficient, lift producing airfoil. Ole Ma Nature is a pretty darn good engineer! Lee

Fabulous. Not the easiest to catch in flight I'm sure.

Danny, those are gorgeous. Love the background in #1 but all are very well done.

I was trying to get some in flight shots today. Nothing like these! Great job Danny! It's so crisp it feels like I'm there.
