Lady Elliot Island is a very small island on the southernmost part of the Great Barrier Reef. The island hosts huge colonies of thousands of breeding birds. They visit the island solely to nest and raise their young between September and March each year. I was lucky to be there in December when the Bridled Terns were courting. What a display!
The background was a little distracting so I tried a Topaz “chalk” filter over the background to try to smooth it out.
