Brings Cock Lesser Nest Rations Sits Tern Terns

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tender moment between a male and female Little Tern as they engage in the important task of raising their young. Dating back to the 1930s, this image offers a glimpse into the past of these elegant and endangered seabirds. The female hen, with her slender body and distinctive black wingtips, can be seen carefully tending to her nest, her intense focus on protecting and nurturing her offspring. In the foreground, the male cock, with his vibrant orange-red bill and black cap, returns from a successful fishing trip, bringing in the rations for his family. The contrast between the hen's attentiveness to the nest and the cock's dynamic flight adds depth and intrigue to this scene. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and partnership between these two birds, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving their habitat and ensuring their continued survival.
