Forster terns greeting each other after landing on a swallow nesting box.

Techs: 1D3/600+1.4x, ISO500, F7.1@1/2500s. +0.5Ev.
Taken Horicon, WI.

Haven't had a chance to participate in these forums for a while now owing to some heavy work commitments. I am hoping this is temporary, but it seems to be going on forever.

Thanks for looking.

I like the additional element of the swallow - it adds interest to an otherwise "unnatural" perch.

Excellent job on the exposure, Govind. The tree Swallow is a great bonus and the poses of the terns are wonderful. Well done.
