these terns up on Farne are very uptight and peck at visitors getting too close to the young, this was taken with a wide angle 12-24 mm at 12mm , i could feel its breath, and certainly they shower excretion all over, it made my lens look white like a canon. thank heavens for poundland lens wipes. 
he was backlit by a fierce sun causing me to squint so it was a question of standing ground and firing, i was wearing a cap, and depending on the camera body to protect my face.

Is it just me, or does he look as if he's wearing shades...? Cracking capture, Phil, amazing! Carol
Hi Phil,
Stunning shot, the framing and clarity are perfect.
My Uncle returned a week after our first trip and the terns weren't attacking people as the chicks were more able and the terns musn't have considered people to be threatening. He was gutted!
Thanks for your recent post as well, really appreciate it...
Phil
