A Common Tern perched on a post in Mill Pond at Pensthorpe. I was watching it call out for a while, it was only calling when another Tern was swooping nearby.

I missed the picture but the other Tern came and fed it a fish. Not looking like a juvenile I was confused until I watched the first episode of Springwatch that said this was courting behaviour!
