is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae.
This bird has a number of geographical races, differing mainly in size and minor plumage
details.C. h. hybridus breeds in warmer
parts of Europe and Asia. The smaller-billed
and darker C. h. delalandii is found in east
and south Africa, and the paler C. h. javanicus
from Java to Australia.
The tropical forms are resident, but European
and Asian birds winter south to Africa and
southern Asia.

focus a little bit soft on eye

best regards
aleks ;)

I love the pose! Cropped a bit too close for my taste, and maybe sharpened a wee bit too much. But I love the pose!

Dear Jean,
Thank you for the dedication :) Nice image, it has a surreal look, say like a pencil sketch. Neat work.
Regards
Anil

Hi welcome to TN,
I love this shot and the position of the bird. Even though the picture is soft i don't think that takes away credit from this wonderful picture ( action pics can be like this ;-) ).
Have a wonderful time in TN
