Airborne

Photo 2: Adult Black Tern (Chlidonias niger/Zwarte Stern) hovering above the platform, encouraging her (or his) youngsters to do their wing exercises.
Photo 3: “Hey watch me, I can fly!” First flying exercises of a juvenile Black Tern (Chlidonias niger/Zwarte Stern). It was a privilege to witness this magical event in the last Summer Solstice (longest day of the year) sunlight. Stay tuned, there is more to come!
