Beautiful shot of a beautiful creature. With their wings up like that I think terns are the best looking bird ever for a model for a hood ornament design. :)

That's a fabulous flight capture JW - such lovely birds to watch these, aren't they.

Many thanks for letting us see him.

BTW our new system relies on the Tags (the luggage label) when searching the Gallery. So as well as entering the scientific name in the relevant field, it also needs to be entered as a Tag, along with the common name and location (country at least).

Any other information you want to add to the Tags for your own use would be a bonus! I hope you can help with this. It would be such a shame if your fabulous pictures didn't get returned in searches for people to look at.
