Why doesn't the thumbnail show up in the gallery? Love the action with the chicks here of course! Perfectly timed capture.

Spectacular! I wish the chicks were seperated more but this is one fine image! Good for you Andreas.

This is lovely Andreas. I think you should buy a membership so that the thumbnail shot comes up in the avian home page. By doing so ,a lot more people would look at your images. It is $20.00 well spent!
I love the chicks and the diagonal line created by the rocky shore. I might boost the contrast just a bit on the adult tern as the black head looks a bit washed out.
An excellent image. well done,
Gail

wonderful image Andreas. Wish you got a little higher to show the whole chicks.

[Gerald Kelberg]

Delightful image! Agree with Gail on both counts!

Thank you for your comments.

Alan the location did not allow other angle of shooting.movement is very much restricted,so you have to take it as it is.

Cheers Andreas
