a photograph of a common tern captured in mid-flight, with its wings fully extended. the background sky is an extremely pale grey, and the tern's wings appear in darker shades of grey due to backlighting. the bright orange beak and feet provide a pop of colour. the tern is looking down towards the surface of a lake, hunting for small fish.

this little birb found an entire bush filled with insects, so didn't mind me taking a bunch of pictures.

September 25, 2025

the rest of the sunset washed out as most of the clouds disappeared, but this beautiful golden light was well worth it
