This was photographed last year while I was photographing a Royal Tern nesting colony. It wasn't until months later when I processed a few images that I noticed, much to my delight, that it was a Caspian Tern. The adult had just come back in for a landing at the nest, and I love the way it looks as though her outstretched wings are protecting her chick. I would have liked better light, but we can't have everything we wish for.
