Adult tern
Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 2 September 2008 in Animal & Insect.
This is a photo of the baby tern which featured in the photo yesterday I think after consulation with a NZ bird book It is a White fronted tern (sterna striata)
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

You do a fine work!

You weren't kidding when you said you liked birds! I'm glad to not be the only one nuts about them! This little one looks a little worried. Nice capture of his expression. I like the way the patterns of his feathers blend in with the stone.

Shar from Regina, SK, Canada
Tough lighting situation but you pulled it off grandly! You photograph birds wonderfully...I think my favorite in the past days was the Wood Pigeon.

I'm really impressed that you get those amazing shots of birds with only a 72mm lens. I tried myself but I never managed to get close enough :-)
