Sooty Tern revisited

my original post of these images in 2005 was pretty poor in processing quality so have done them again in a fit of nostalgia -- the weather I wrote was rather poor with a strong northerly wind on July 25th 2005 and drizzle / spray and the bird was rather mobile but what a cracking bird -- all taken with my original DSLR a Canon 20D and the old 100-400 zoom -- I am many thousand pounds poorer thanks to Canon since that time but has it all been worth while? always take RAWs you can get better out of them years down the line --
