Crested Terns

This post is for the Bird Photography Weekly.

Crested Terns are coming in to breeding plumage and getting ready to fly off to the off-shore islands where they will breed and raise their young. I watched these ones the other day - in full breeding plumage - strutting around among a flock of other terns. Their crests were raised as part of the display they were putting on.
