A very strange ternA 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.

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.
