Fishy Business in the Skies - Sandwich Tern Shows Off Its Aerial Skills!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bert Ooms, we witness a truly remarkable sight above the picturesque colony of Ameland, Friesland. A handsome adult male Sandwich Tern, known scientifically as Thalasseus sandvicensis, takes flight with an impressive piece of fish securely held in its beak. But that's not all – this skilled aviator defies gravity by effortlessly hovering mid-air! As the tern hovers gracefully between the beach grass and marram grass (Ammophila arenaria), it showcases its incredible agility and precision. With European Beachgrass providing a scenic backdrop, this seabird seems to have mastered the art of balancing elegance and efficiency. The vibrant colors of spring surround our feathered friend as it proudly displays its full-length profile for all to admire. The bustling colony below adds to the lively atmosphere on Feugelpolle island, managed by Staatsbosbeheer. This delightful snapshot perfectly captures nature's wonders at their finest – three animals harmoniously coexisting amidst breathtaking scenery. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in our busy lives, there is always time to appreciate these magical moments shared with creatures like the Sandwich Tern. So let your imagination take flight alongside this magnificent bird! Allow yourself to be transported into a world where fish become airborne delicacies and hovering becomes an effortless art form.
