Selecting the photographs that make the book from tens of thousands of images can be challenging but not with a moment like this. Here, a Royal Tern feeds a fish to its chick and I was very lucky – even at 9 frames a second – to catch the split-second handoff. More challenging than catching moments and editing just the right image would be picking out your chick from the hundreds in this tern colony. To my eye, all of the terns and chicks look pretty much the same. But the parents can pick their chicks out of the crowd.
