Common Tern in flight returning with a pilchard in its beak

Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) in flight against a clear blue sky, holding a small fish, likely a pilchard, in its beak. The bird has a streamlined body, pointed wings, and a white and gray plumage with a black cap on its head. The flight posture and extended wings suggest swift movement through the air. This species is often found in coastal regions and known for its agile hunting and fishing capabilities.
