Happy Easter Sunday with #SuperSeabirdSunday

and an #ArcticTern flying against the sun in the

#OuterHebrides

An Arctic Tern in breeding plumage gliding smoothly over a pale blue sea against a plain background, its distinct black cap and slender body visible.

The name Sterna paradisaea ("sea swallow of paradise") is ironic! Weighing just a few ounces, the Arctic Tern holds the longest migration record of any bird AND will fiercely dive-bomb predators to protect its nest. A reminder that you don't have to be big to fierce, or endure! 🌍

70,000 km. No landmarks. Just instinct. 🌌

The Arctic Tern doesn't drift, it navigates. Small business is the same. Success isn't an endless summer; it’s having the tools to endure every season.

The image shows a flow of arctic terns with the occasional black-headed gull in front of a light grey sky.

For today's #ThrowbackThursday, I chose this picture of a flock of #ArcticTern​s. I used pictures like this to train myself to quickly estimate the size of a flock. How many birds do you think are in this picture?

Meet the bird, lighter than a bar of chocolate, that covers twice the distance of Earth as it migrates The bird nests in the Arctic during summer, when the sun never really sets, and flies all the way to the Antarctic to enjoy the southern summer

Not quite as light as a feather (but lighter than a bar of chocolate!), the #ArcticTern gracefully (and amazingly) travels wide and far.

birdtober day 11/31 — arctic tern

#Inktober Day 19: Arctic

The #ArcticTern will sometimes startle other birds to steal their prey (known as "kleptoparasitism"). I could have chosen an easier pose to do 😵

Drawn with an H pencil and an ink dip pen.

#Inktober day 19 - Arctic ❄️

Did you know that the Arctic Tern has one of the longest migrations of any bird? They travel from the Arctic in summer to the Antarctic in winter every year to get the most sunlight possible!

A journey across the skies, a celebration of nature’s brilliance. Chasing the Sun turns facts into inspiration and pages into pathways for creativity.

During the spring months, the Arctic tern flies from Antarctica to the Arctic waters. One of the places you can find them is on the Farne Islands in the UK. #arctictern #tern #birds #ukwildlife

Artic terns are always a great sign for spotting whales. They benefit from the hunting of the whales and can easily get the left over fish.

Artic Terns at Jökulsárlón

They often rest on the ice. For breeding they use spots close to people. That way they are protected against the artic fox but they attack people at the same time.

Have you ever seen a tern hunt?

Here is your chance

This bird will migrate to Antarctica soon

Glad I got the chance to document it in Skjern Enge close to the Rinkøbing Fjord
