Lovely new entry Ivan. Good to see you back!
Very pleasant capture in terms of composition and color indeed.
Interesting species which reminds me of "our" Caspian Tern in coloration
and body shape. This one however has more elegant .... elongated beak with
so striking red color. In my opinion the use of narrow aperture (f/11) effected
somehow the shutter speed, which was not maybe fast enough to freeze the action
completely. Despite that minor note, I like the visual impact of that image! Nice!

Delightful moment captured with extreme precision, Ivan.
Isn't it wonderful to live so close to the sea?
The expression of the Tern watching its companion taking off is adorable.
Hope you are recovering well.
Regards.

Bonjour Ivan,
Well chosen title for this picture! You did very well with hand-held camera and from a distance of 20m. A bird we don't see so much in my region. A vivid and fine bird-picture.
Un grand merci aussi pour ton aide pour ma chauve-souris. J'ai consulté un site suisse et cette espèce y est répertoriée.(toutes les espèces sont sur la liste rouge!)
Bon dimanche à vous deux
Anne
