On a recent film shoot we had discovered a Tern family on a very small island. We had suspicions of a nest or offspring.The only way to find out was for me to search the island for either .
I soon found the offspring hiding in some rocks.
I was reasonably safe until it came out of hiding.With several blows to my head, two drawing blood I was determined to make peace and let me film them. Which they did !

( next time a helmet is a good idea ! )
