They are a rather handsome bird and apparently the males and females like each other's company. I love the Terns. They have an angular, artsy look to them. You did well with this set of pictures given that the birds were quite happy to pose for you. <br /><br />I will not apologize for being late this time because, it is, after all, Wednesday in the States though I assume it is Thursday where you are. I am in a state of Christmas panic. An annual affair here because I am not good at planning ahead ... but I never miss visiting your WBW. It is one of my favorite routines :) Be well, Stewart.<br /><br />Andrea @ From The SolAndrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613882486442283643.post-10688170199752368322015-12-10T09:40:59.390+11:002015-12-10T09:40:59.390+11:00Stunning photos Stewart.
