The common tern (Sterna hirundo)

in #photography8 years ago

this year young bird feeding on small fish. It was a very quick action to make a photo and nice to watch.

nice shooting, you are lucky being there doing this photo @valtr

A good shot and I am also a photographer I will follow you @valtr

looks like both of you had a good "catch" :) What a special picture to capture the bird with the fish in beak!

When I lived in Scotland I used to enjoy watching Common Terns and Arctic terns fishing. They used to nest not far from my house. Unfortaunately I did not have a very good camera at the time. I like your first shots how you can see where splashed the water.

This bird had a good day of fishing!
