Atlantic Tern

Atlantic Tern
An Atlantic Tern on the Farne Islands, Northumberland. This one was telling me to keep away from its eggs.

Terns get very aggressive when nesting. When we were living in Norway, we often walked quite near the local airport of Stavanger where the terns nested on the outskirts of the airfield protected by heave duty wire netting. During the nesting season they would dive bomb us, so much so, that we had to duck and move well away.

This is a very good action shot of aggression!
