Oscar Dewhurst – Common Tern

OD_2015_Suffolk-134

Oscar writes: I had been watching this Common Tern fishing outside one of the hides at Minsmere but the background was a white sky so wasn’t photographing it. When it moved to the side of the hide the reeds were behind it giving a nice light brown background. Fortunately it kept hunting for the next half an hour so I was able to get quite a few images. This one was taken just as it flew off.

Nikon D800, Nikon 600mm f/4 AF-S II lens
Mark writes: the Common Terns were screaming at Stanwick Lakes the other day. I looked at them, and enjoyed them, but I didn’t see them like this. Come to that, I didn’t see them like this when I was at Minsmere either!
