Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Terns on Dromana beach, Mornington Peninsula
It fascinates me how terns line up so uniformly, facing into the direction of the wind. The more windy the weather, the more stalwart they seem to become.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Thanks for the beautiful photos and the poetry! Sterns are remarkable birds: I heard that the fly enormous distances.
I can watch birds on the shore for hours...running this way and that, then soaring. Nice shots...
I'd love to be on that beach!
I played too :)
Lovely and almost magic photos. Thank you for sharing.
I'd love to be out there with them rightnow.
the terns all turn one way together sandy
Wow ! what a big yellow beaks they have, this species of terns, interesting !! (I am bird watcher but not that good that I know species of other continents, love to see them though)
Wonderful photos, Gemma. I love to see waves breaking on the shore, and it's even more lovely if there are some beautiful little birds in the scene. Thanks for sharing these photos.
Great photo and the beach is a nice place to be
Love this shot of the birds!

Very interesting birds. Oh how I'd love to be at the beach.
It must be so nice to watch those birds by the beach.
