World Bird Wednesday: Crested Tern

On our visit to Burleigh Heads last week, I came across 3 new "lifers" while I was climbing around on the rocks. This week I am sharing the Crested Tern.

  17. This is a wonderful series, Liz.

  18. Liz, these are all so marvellously clear. Your fourth and last capture are my favourite. I'm hoping you'll be slightly proud that I just took my first ever photo of a kookaburra - it was high up in the front yard tree and I suspect when I download it it will look like a brown speck but at least I managed to shoot one!

  22. Hi there - I always like photographing Crested Terns - I think they are one of our most cooperative species! Which new species did you get?

    I thought I’d let you know that I stepped into the void caused by Springmans decision to close down World Bird Wednesday by setting up Wild Bird Wednesday (!) on my photoblog at Paying Ready Attention – Photo Gallery.
