    --- Well" , you get the idea. The Common Terns will not tolerate anything coming near their young , and will defend them with their lives. This Skimmer got a bit too close , and was run off , leaving no doubt who is in charge.

    I like the interaction, open beak and tucked in tail of the skimmer. Well done Joe!

    Excellent behaviour and action shot! Exposure and sharpness look good.
    Here is another version with a different composition. Also converted to sRGB.

    Excellent behavior shot.
    Skimmer looks awesome.
    I would add a catchlight to the terns eye.
