Photographed today 25 miles north of Dublin at a little Tern Colony.

Nice shot. It's good to get some contrast in the sky rather than a continuous blue tone. Shows the aerodynamics beautifully.

Yes I'll agree with that.
Nice shot.

I agree with the others. It's nice that you've caught it with some cloud blurring in there. Good pose.

Is this a big crop? I only ask at it's a small bird (in the hand). Not that I've ever handled one.

Regards

Lovely shot throughout Craig!

Does have a biggish crop appearence, but good detail nonetheless.

Nice shot Craig. I particularly like the fanned tail and the positioning of the bird in the frame is good too.

The tail fan is great and I like the downward pointing pose - quite dynamic.
