Common Tern

[Sebastian Erras]

Hello everyone,

i would like to show you a picture of a common tern which i took 2 weeks ago on the island Texel ( The Netherlands ).
It was quite difficult for me to get a pleasing flight shot of these fellows as they were pretty fast.
However, this one was hoovering for a few seconds above his partner and I got a good chance to get some shoots,
