Exposure & details look great Peter, like the placement in the frame.

I especially like the head turn with eye contact, and the soft semi-circle curve of those wings.

Well donedevil

I like the position in the frame, good head turn and nice job on the exposure. Good work Peter.

You have a really nice catch light here which can be tough with these terns because of the black around the eye.  The whites look good, I would like to see a little more detail in the blacks but a tough exposure in these lighting conditions.  By the way this isn't a Least Tern which has a yellow beak, it's most likely a Common Tern  devil
