For those of you who have ever wondered what an arctic tern's throat looks like (OK, probably nobody), here is the answer. Taken on the Inner Farne last Sunday,

Thanks for looking

Good action well caught David in what looks like some harsh lighting.

I have just come back from a few days on the Farnes. Always a great place and typically three or four seasons in a day, weather wise !

Cheers

A splendid shot David - and certainly a great view of the inside mouth!! The larger version really is impressive!

Hello David,

Not much wrong with this one, it's a classic Farnes shot. Good to capture the open beak too.

You've captured this one very well. Nice background and I like the open beak very much. :smile:
