Common Tern-Sterna hirundo
Hi Guys,

Here's another shot i took of one of the Common Terns in my area. I just love these birds both in flight, or when in the water taking a bath and wing-flapping as in this shot.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Very different image of a Tern-the water droplets add nicely to the image-as said very good detail :toast:
