    Common Tern (Sterna hirundo)

    One of the longest traveller birds in the world. Stays half a year at here up north and half a year at South Africa or Argentina. Excelent flyier and dive fisher. Also seemed to be always on the move.

    Technical criticism: A wee bit underexposed, and seems to lack some sharpness - probably the wind blowing through the feathers and a slightly long exposure time. But I still like it, I like photos of birds

      Nice looking bird.
      Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice.
