Crested Tern returning to nesting area from feeding grounds with a small bait fish in its beak

Crested tern (Thalasseus bergii) in flight over a rocky shore with patches of green algae. The bird holds a small bait fish in its beak, against a background of blue ocean water. The tern, identifiable by its slender body and pointed wings, is light grey and white with a distinctive black crest on its head, typical of this species found in coastal regions.
