Arctic terns can be really aggressive at their breeding grounds, which this Herring Gull got very aware of.

Nikon D700, 600/4, 1.4x TC. Photographed at Utklippan Islands in SE Sweden in May 2014.

This is a potentially very nice shot. I like the rim-lighting. It would be better to not have clipped the tern's wings.

Please give exposure details as well.

I suppose both birds were not on the same focus plane but not bad!

Great capture of this behavior. It looks as if it would benefit from some lightening
