Twists and terns

We'd planned to do a short coastal walk today but it took us through a colony of Arctic Terns, they were very busy defending their territory so we decided to find an alternative route. My husband was braver than me and got quite close to them but he was under attack from several birds all diving on him. He lived to tell the tale though :)

fantastic capture - if you go onto Inner Farne in the breeding season they tell you to wear a hat to protect your head from the dive-bombing
