CommentOver the past two weekends I've spent hours among a large flock of Greater Crested Terns. I had initially set out hoping to find some Fairy Terns at a known breeding spot but I was too late, they've moved on. Although much more common, watching these Crested Terns was fascinating and they were quite comfortable with my presence. This juvenile takes flight from a practice dive.
