A very strange tern          Uncle AJ's Rolex, Wrist Watch & Nature Forum Forum Index -> Bird photos View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message uncle aj Site Admin Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 1734 Location: Work, Saudi Arabia..Home Bolton, England Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2007 9:19 pm    Post subject: A very strange tern A couple of weeks ago a group of us went to a small island where lesser-crested terns breed. I took a picture of what at first I thought was a tern flying upside down, then wondered if it had terned it's head (pun intended). Today a friend who was on the same trip sent me a picture of what could be the same tern and we are now wondering if it could be deformed. http://www.birdforum.net/attachme...tachmentid=98850&d=1186866417 http://www.birdforum.net/attachme...tachmentid=98851&d=1186866459 Back to top Rodentman Junior member Joined: 09 Aug 2007 Posts: 29 Location: Minneapolis MN Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 12:51 am    Post subject: Maybe it's just showing off.

It would seem difficult to fly that way. Someone has suggested it could have been shaking it's head after drinking. I've also seen them going into convulsions when they leave the water to shake themselves dry. The pictures could have been taken at that moment and froze the movement.
