Notes: |
|
This bird was trying to get scraps off the elastic used to wrap bait, which was stuck in the beach sand. The bird looked tired and stayed there for a length of time, not perturbed that I was so close. No other terns where close-by. The danger of the bird being killed by rubbish from anglers! |
