Pacific Terns

A online buddy of mine from "multiply" invited me to join him and his bird shooting kaki on a trip to the eastern coastline of Singapore to take pictures of the Terns. I didn't have any idea what the Turns look like and where are they from when I first heard of them. I went to the internet to gather more information.

I hesitated at first cause I don't really have the kit for bird photography (500mm lens and above) and is a working day. I decided to give it a try with my Nikkor 70-300mm lens. We boarded the rented bumboat as early as 0730hrs at Changi jetty. I grab a quick bite along the way as to avoid sea sick.

We reach the destination within ten minutes, it was a rock next to a beacon. The boatman steer the bumboat alongside the rock and the Terns were flying and hovering all around. A unforgettable experience indeed I must say. I believe we saw the first new born chick for this season.
