Nature with Steve May 16

It was good to see that the Common Terns had returned to Brandon Marsh by the time I visited at the end of April. I took several photos of this posing pair, only afterwards realising that the male had presented the female with a small fish, in act of ‘courtship feeding.’

Another chilly day, but I went for a short walk on the coast anyway. I spotted a pier and decided to walk to the end of it to see the view. Before I got there, a tern landed on a pole near me and shrieked and stared at me. I am not fluent in Ternish, but I think it said "Stop right there!"

I did.

At first I thought it was an Arctic tern, but no – just a common tern. I took a few photos and left the tern to enjoy the view in peace. It started chatting with another common tern that landed below it on the pier, presumably its partner.
