Have you ever been out on the water near Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary and heard a cricket like call? That might be a common tern! 

They nest on quiet, sandy beaches in large colonies that are very sensitive to the presence of humans. Throughout the day clouds of common terns can be found following the course of large predatory fish, taking advantage of the small fish driven to the surface. (Photo: USFWS.

Saimaa Day 40/100 A lonely common tern sits on the navigation light of my boat. Calm and warm evening on Lake Saimaa. Kalatiira päivystää kulkuvalon päässä. Laiturin alla pesivät västäräkit käyttävät moottorin koppaa paskomisalustanaan. On aika vaihtaa maisemaa. #100lakesaimaa #100päivääsaimaalla #reppujareissumies #visitsaimaa #saimaa #commontern #reflection #woodenboat (paikassa Etelä-Savo)

Common Tern mid hover at Cossington Meadows - made with watercolours and a biro I was thinking the other day of last summer walking through Cossington Meadows with a friend and drawing what we saw. Thinking of that I made this which represents that memory.
