Whiskered Terns

[Dimitris Bertzeletos <>]

Here are a a few of the best shots I managed.Most of the birds were in full or near full breeding plumage, but two were in non-breeding plumage. They were very cooperative, flying just 2-3 meters above your head and giving ample time for photos, but unfortunately the strong wind made it hard for them to hover and equaly hard for me to get shots. A man named Leo was also there and he had a much bigger 'gun' then me so better photos may be in store.

But for now, I hope you like these. :)

Cheers!

PS: a tip for photographers: The birds frequented the two, small 'left' ponds. Go and stand in the strip of land between the two and the birds will just fly past you!
