Brown Noddy Tern with chick 501_9025.jpg

            I had to wait for more or less the hottest part of the day (35C) before Mum gave me a good look at her chick. At this point in the day it was so hot the chick needed air and I think Mum was showing the chick how to pant so it didn't overheat, like I was!
