  • Sandwich Tern (Sterna sandvicensis). Copyright 2009 Peter Drury<br /> This bird had a nasty surprise. As it surfaced and took to the air a large fish leaped out of the water, nudging the Tern's tail and almost causing it to fall back in the water. Thankfully, the bird was none to worse for wear and flew off without it's catch - see next photo.<br /> Langstone Harbour
