It’s a bit interesting to see a winged and a flightless bird having a barny. The little Adele penguin was outraged by the attack of the Arctic Tern who was defending possible intrusion on their nesting area on a nearby cliff..

Continuing the parody of that iconic song ‘There is a Season’ by The Byrds. These three Sterna bergii (Crested Terns) were photographed while taking shelter on their rocky perch at Shelley Beach , Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, on a very grey, very damp winter day. The Terns are Australian a native seabird and very common around the Port Macquarie beaches and estuaries. I found that I could get to within fifteen to twenty feet (5-7m) from these seabirds before they became twitchy and that by leaning against a large rock I was quite able to hold the camera firmly enough for the relatively slow shutter speed required for the exposure. Fuji S5500: f/9 @ 1/38sec, ISO 100, Chrome colour setting. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Aussie Birds collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fine feathered friends. Enjoy!

WILD AND FREE / / On the last morning of our Arctic trip we had a few hours to spend in Longyearbyen before our departure. We went for a walk along the shore and came across these Arctic Terns. They were very protective and dived bombed everyone. This image was taken with a 10mm lens – so he was pretty close! (Spitzbergen – Scandinavian Arctic) /

But more wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of ocean. Blue, green, gray, white or black; smooth, ruffled, or mountainous; that ocean is not silent. All my days have I watched it and listened to it, and I know it well. At first it told to me only the plain little tales of calm beaches and near ports, but with the years it grew more friendly and spoke of other things; of things more strange and more distant in space and time. Sometimes at twilight the gray vapors of the horizon have parted to grant me glimpses of the ways beyond; and sometimes at night the deep waters of the sea have grown clear and phosphorescent, to grant me glimpses of the ways beneath. And these glimpses have been as often of the ways that were and the ways that might be, as of the ways that are; for ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time. (H. P. Lovecraft)

Camera: Lumix DMC-FZ7. F8.0. Shutter speed: 1/640 sec. This is another photo from the Farne Islands the path used to come up from the boats onto one of the islands runs straight through an Artic tern Colony. The terns are incrediblly protective of there cicks and eggs so set about pecking and pooing on the tourists without any fear, one even used my head as a moblie perch. It took a while before I managed to get this photo as every time I got the Tern in view and focused they had an annoying habit of flying off or attacking me.

I spent 3 1/2 hours with the CRESTED TERNS capturing them going about the daily routines. / This is one of my favourites,there is so much going on in the air and on the ground…. It took me some time before the birds realized I wasn’t a threat and allowed me to get close enough to them to start capturing them with detail and mass. This is my story about the above image with the meaning of the scene… "As the tide started to flood the reef the crested terns began to land for an easy feed of small unsuspecting fish and crustations that where making their ill fated journey across the surface with the normal safety of the tide being maybe outweighed by the number of hungry terns waiting for them to swim and crawl past..?" All images from this series are hand held there is no time for tripods,shoot and ask questions later.. I shot this image with a 17-50mm lens and shot 8 Gig of images from this session I may never really get through all of them but I had an awesome time capturing them..

Sandwich Terns nest with Royal Terns, with over 525 pairs nesting in Tampa Bay, 95% of the state population. This species breeds in very dense colonies on coasts and islands, and exceptionally inland on suitable large freshwater lakes close to the coast. It nests in a ground scrape and lays one to three eggs. Capture at Fort De Soto Park in Pinellas County, Florida . View large please / canon 40D / canon 400mm / ISO 400 / 1/1600 f 7.1 CP filter /

Whilst photographing shorebirds along Rathtrevor Beach, Parksville, Vancouver Island, BC a group of Caspian Terns flew by as they were feeding along the coast on the outgoing tide, giving me the brief opportunity to capture this image. Caspian Terns are the world’s largest tern and feed mainly on fish, which they dive for, hovering high over the water and then plunging. Canon 40D / 1/2000sec f8 ISO 400

While shooting shorebirds at Sandy Hook, I noticed a juvenile common tern screaming loudly on the end of a jetty with mom and dad nowhere in sight. I climbed out onto the rocks and figured if I waited long enough a parent might come and feed it. Twenty minutes later I saw an adult tern fishing just off the jetty. After awhile it caught a small fish, and quickly flew to the rocks and fed the juvenile.
