CommentThe Fairy Tern chicks have all fledged and have made their way down to the beach, where they patiently wait for the parents to return with bigger fish. I saw this little fledgling give a quick stretch whilst waiting and I had mere seconds to capture this image. It reminds me of a "little angel"
