Royal Tern at the beach! (Martinique)

Royal tern flapping his wings when bathing in the shallow water of the beach in the sunset light. Despite his webbed feet, he does not swim but just land to bathe and take care of his feathers.
This bird has to fly to observe from the air before plunging and dive to catch his prey. It has to be noted that the eyes of Terns cannot accommodate their view under water.
