Least Tern, Like A Rocket

Least Tern, Like A Rocket

Most of the time I’m just a spectator when these birds start to fish. I need plenty of open space to follow the twists and turns. And a memory card with lots of space too.

I believe this is a Least Tern however there are a few that look the same to me. I just call them Terns.

I didn’t catch any dives here at all. The clear view area ended to my left, tall marsh grass blocked my shots… and all the dives for fish.

Part of the entertainment is their non stop calls.
