🇫🇮 Lapintiira
🇬🇧 Arctic tern

I’m genuinely wondering howcome these living missiles do not get any neck injuries when plunging headlong to the sea. Haven’t seen any terns using wheelchair so they must know what they are doing

And this was actually the first time I ever saw a tern braking in the air and then flying briefly backwards when he re-positioned himself to align with the target. Spectacular!
