EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by David Tipling, we witness a true spectacle of nature's precision and cunning. Behold the Arctic Tern, Sterna paradisaea, showcasing its remarkable hunting prowess on the picturesque Farne Islands in Northumberland. With razor-sharp focus and lightning-fast reflexes, this feathered acrobat has successfully snatched a sand eel right out of the depths of the ocean. Talk about being at the right place at the right time! This incredible shot perfectly encapsulates both predator and prey in one frame. As if posing for a profile picture, our elegant tern proudly displays its prized catch with beak held high.
