Original – Fairy Tern (Sterna nereis), Little Swanport, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
This is the only image on Wikimedia Commons of this species. The photo was taken hand held in waist-deep salt water as it was the only way I could approach with the sun on the right side. Fairy Terns are classified as Vulnerable in most states of Australia. For those familiar they are about half the size of a Crested Tern.
