A classic tern flight pose and the catch adds to the image, Axel!
Nice green bg too.

Lovely flight pose with fanning tail feathers, nice catch. Good details in the whites.

Lovely flight shot. The out of focus grass makes a perfect background. Chicks should be getting big now.

Sweet shot on a tough bird to expose well. Nice to get it with an accessory to boot.

Thanks! If you go there very early in the morning, the traffic is not bad at all. Even on the way back it was not a big problem.

Great pose, light and detail. A tern against a green background (as opposed to blue water) is unique.
