I got a few Crested Tern shots this morning at the beach, near the local baths. They roost there all the time.

    Nice flight shots Steve. Terns are difficult to capture. You did well.

    I really like #3. The detail and lighting are great. Love the way he's coming in for a landing.thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Great captures Steve! clap.gif In the first shot I would crop some off the top, and if you can add some room below the tern!
