Mikepércs: A Modest Day

I count on the young whiskered terns today. It seems that the little grebes use the trunk just occasionally.
Not a single grebe comes within "shooting distance" for a long time but they are active beyond it.
Finally a young tern lands and starts preening, ...:

... and searches for something edible. It finds many things ...:

... but none of them is suitable.
However it's not starving, the parents look after it. But this time I'm unable to catch the moment of feeding.
So, this remains a modest day.
