To complete the story of a common tern chasing the least tern... the least tern gave up after few minutes... Can you see the dropped fish?

Good for the fish or did the Common Tern steal it?

The fish landed in a very shallow water, the common tern was quick to pick it up. +1 common tern. 
It is amazing how focused they are and how easily they can apply brakes when it looked like an 100MPH chase before.
