Caspian Terns

Giphsub

Hi all. I've been quite busy with my wife's family in town visiting from Japan, so haven't been on here much. But I got down to the beach just before they came and found these caspian terns hanging about. C&C welcome. Enjoy.

Super set Mike - can't choose a winner, but #3 appeals to me!

Cheers Stephen! Yeah they are photogenic birds, and much bigger than the seagulls that were also around. The bill is very striking indeed!

Cheers BigAl #3 might be one of my favourites too - if only for it being a little different from the normal poses. These were all with the Bigma
