Summer Loving

I was laying in the sand photographing least tern chicks when this pair started their dance. The male will hold the fish and walk around flicking it showing that he has his gift, the female will follow laying down and continue doing so until he mounts her and gives her the fish..

I was lucky enough to be able to lay and watch this Least Tern family as the sun was coming up. These chicks were less than 24 hours old because you could still see the “egg tooth” . (Taken with 600mm lens.)
