A common tern approaching the pier. This was during my vacation last year.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
One of the birds that live on La Guancha beach in Ponce, PR. Pelicans and seagulls fight over the food (fish) that visitors throw towards them. This was taken with my EF 24-105mm lens and cropped; couldn't bring with me my long lens on this vacation. Love the backlit on the wings.
So I'm walking on the beach, I look up, and what do I see, a small fish catching a ride on the birds mouth! How cool is that?
At first the reflection of the sign bothered me, but I liked the action so much I'm posting it anyway. I think the prey might be an Atlantic Sand Crab. The tern had plucked whatever it is out of a tidal lagoon and was having a bit of trouble gaining altitude, so touched down lightly in the water a few times. I felt lucky to catch one of those moments, reflection of the sign and all.
Common Tern trying to get one of the youngsters flying and fishing for itself!
A great days photography in the rain... non stop both rain and photography
Hoping to see the Sandwich Tern blown in on the recent hurricane, we had to settle for some performing Common Terns. Not a bad consolation prize.

France; Brenne 3/5/21. A bit distant but they usually are here. Still a scarce summer visitor to the Brenne
A Common Tern bringing a fish to its mate. Being currently in Spain, we were caught up in the power outage affecting the whole of Spain yesterday. I couldn’t get any internet access until this morning!
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
Watched a flock of Common Tern's land over and over and each time they went straight for the middle of the birds already in the water! A whole lake and they went for the crowd. Smile.

Wrightsville Beach, NC. Most of my shots this morning were taken into the sun, but I liked the stronger colors of most of them.
