Love and conflict meet on the wetland, in the form of a male tern. One moment, he's tenderly feeding his mate in a scene of quiet devotion; the next, he morphs into another mode: skimming over ducklings to protect his domain as their nest is too close to his. The striking contrast – gentle lover at dawn, aggressive sentry at noon – creates a vivid metaphor for survival. Behind every graceful glide lies a calculated strategy: protect what's yours, cherish what matters.
