I have never been this close to birds before. It was a real treat and I loved every second of it. Despite the fact we was attackt most of the time. You had to wear head protection. But luckily they did not target your eyes. You had to be very careful so you stayed out of their way as chicks could wander around. I had a lot of fun trying to capture them in the backlight of the sun. And as you can see there was nests, eggs and chicks all over the place. A place I´d like to revisit.

ReplyDeleteÅh, vilka fina bilder du fått härifrån! Alla är lika fina! Och så den lilla ungen där! :)
ReplyDeleteÄr de tagna i Skottland? Fågeln finns väl i Sverige också, eller ?
*hi hi* Hade ni hjälmar på er? Vet ju hur skrattmåsarna gör sina utfall, lite otäckt faktiskt!

ReplyDeleteAccording to my bird book, we sometimes see this tern here. But I am fairly new to birding and have never seen it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots. I really like the Common Tern. So graceful.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun experience watching the terns and their chicks. They can be very protective. Great shots!
