I like the second shot although slightly passed you, Jacky!
Good exposure and nice split bg there.
Would crop a little tighter ...

The tern in the 1st photo has a very strange belly shape. Is it pregnant?

I remember that in 3 or 4 years ago, we had found terns still laying eggs in early/mid August. It might be their 2nd round of breeding which the successful rate of the 1st round of breeding in that year was very low. The low successful rate was due to disturbance to the site by human ...... :-[
