This time of the year Forster’s Terns are a common sight at EBF. Last week I stopped my car when I saw more than a dozen of them hovering in the air and diving into a pond to catch fish. The terns ignored me and went on with their aerial acrobatics as if no one was around.
In the following photo this tern was hovering, flapping its wings but its eyes were fully concentrated on any prey lurking beneath the water.
Beautiful capture of flying tern! Great shot.

I am so excited to know the name of this bird. I just saw one for the first time over the weekend. It was all alone on the beach. Usually the ternsare in a group. It looked a bit confused. I understand how it felt….

I see you have been busy while I have been in dirt and earthworms using your macro lens. I know you are having FUN! I really enjoyed viewing many of your images this morning.

Today I am looking at wodpress from a very old computer, and as there is no java script installed … I am wondering if this writing of a comment will work out.
Cheers,

Thank you Jet. The terns were practically begging to be photographed. They kept diving, flying up then coming back to hover again.
