EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, the Farne Isles become a battleground as two feisty Sandwich Terns lock beaks in an epic showdown over a mouthwatering feast of sandeels. With feathers ruffled and tempers flaring, these avian adversaries engage in a high-stakes game of scavenging supremacy. Their intense confrontation showcases the true meaning of aggression, as they fiercely jostle for dominance and the ultimate prize – a delectable fishy treat! These winged warriors spare no effort to secure their next meal, displaying an impressive array of attacking maneuvers that would leave any professional wrestler green with envy. Witnessing this display of aerial acrobatics is nothing short of awe-inspiring. As they dive-bomb through the air with razor-sharp precision, it's clear that these terns mean business. Their food-filled mouths serve as badges of honor, showcasing their successful hunting prowess amidst all the chaos. This extraordinary photograph by Duncan Usher perfectly captures nature's wild side - where survival instincts reign supreme and even mealtimes are not without drama. So grab your popcorn (or should we say sandeels?) and prepare to be enthralled by this gripping tale from our feathered friends on the Farne Isles!
