I think this is a really great shot and recently tried to repeat it without any success whatsoever. How did you manage to shoot this when the terns are flying so fast, and without getting your head pecked?

thanks SW; this one was taken at Long Nanny where you don't get near the nests, so no head-pecking; but that is all part of the fun on the Farnes. How? A bit of patience, a bit of zoom and wait until they hover momentarily ; see here for some Farnes shots: http://toothecrossroads.blogspot.com/search?q=terns
