Little Terns and fish (wildlife)

[Alex]

Not an endangered species, but a very rare one (talking of the little terns, not the fish they are feeding on).

They were actually breeding, so I did not dare to get any close not to disturb them. Taken with 420mm on small format ... and cropped in alot still

Taken on an island in the North Sea again as you might have guessed ;)

They are beautiful birds! I like both shots, but would have to pick #1 as the favorite of the two.

[Alex]

thank you :)

#1 certainly gives you some context, which I guess you like, whereas #2 gives more detail of the bird itself.

Love Terns!!, Great shots.

What a wonderful painting that first image would make.

[Alex]

feel free to try to paint it :)

I love that first shot! It does look like a painting! :)
The second is good as well, proving once again that one good tern does indeed deserve another! :lol:

[Alex]

Thank you! :)

I have to correct one thing though... they were not breeding, but mating, which includes that the lads have to feed the lassies ;)
