This particular moment was captured on camera by an avid photographer on Inner Farne, one of the enchanting Farne Islands in Northumberland.

Nearby, fishermen can be seen tending to their lobster and crab pots, their presence a testament to the rich marine life that attracts these elegant creatures. The Arctic tern's journey takes it far beyond this tranquil coastal scene; it ventures all the way to Arctic Norway where it displays its vibrant feathers on tundra landscapes during mating season in June.
