Little Tern Flyby
This is quite a small tern with just 25cm body and 41cm wingspan. They are very fast and agile and because of that a lot trickier to get a good picture of then i first anticipated :D

Am Ostend von #Wangerooge ist ein Strandstück gesperrt, damit die seltene #Zwergseeschwalbe in Ruhe brüten kann. Die Vögel kennen offenbar das Ritual, dass wir Menschen an der Infotafel stehen bleiben und umdrehen. Sie blieben cool und balzten fast vor meiner Nase.

UK: #LittleTern fledglings hit record numbers https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce98pl5943zo

140 of the birds had developed wing feathers large enough for flight at #SeatonCarew in #Hartlepool this year. The numbers follow an improving year-on-year trend. Earlier this month the #birds set off on their annual three-month migratory journey to The #Gambia in west Africa. Last year the team recorded 125 fledglings at Seaton Carew, whereas in 2022 there were just 89.
