    I seem to have been doing nearly all my bird photography whilst crawling in wet mud or sand for months now! I spent some time photographing the terns roosting on a beach. I was laying in about an inch of sea water which made me very nervous about my gear as each small wave rolled in... 1/640...

    Shows just how white the bird is against a dark background. He had just finished that quick shaking of the surplus water after diving in.

    Birds were well out at sea hence the small image but as can be seen one fish being fed to the youngster and one still in parents beak.

    Holding his ground...

    This 1st Winter sandwich tern was making an almighty ruckus - it would not be moved from the rock it was on, and was quite prepared to let every passing bird know who was boss! A bit of a crop, but this is an attractive plumage phase, I think.

    Inner farne sandwich

    There is a large colony of Sandwich terns on Inner Farne. Sadly we only landed for one hour and so the amount of time I spent with these birds meant I did them no justice at all. As with all terns though they have beautiful wings. I guess Ill just have to go back.
