Tern in your face

When you land on Farne you have to walk in between the term nests that have chicks and momma turns literally dive and peck your heads. It’s not rare to see blood

Did you have to wipe 'bird' off your front element Randy

Bear gave me the essential hint saying something about "front"...

Better to have to wipe blood off of the lens than to let the bird damage the front element of the lens!

Excellent and dramatic shot, Randy!
