Hi Guys,

Have been on the Isle of Texel the other day and had a great time again with the local Avocets and Terns.
Here's one of the shots i got.

I think this would be just as good without the tern in Jeroen but I can see why you have retained it . Great !

Love the way you can see the tongue, and the eye stands out clearly, which isn't always the case with avocets. The tern is a bonus.

Thern is the icing on the cake.

Really top shot, think the tern behind really lifts the image to another level
