Bird photography cliche #1

There are plenty of people taking pics of birds and putting them on the web and you may well be one of them.  It is reasonably plain to see that there are common images that it seems that you should have in your 'portfolio'.  Barn Owls over the fields at sunrise, a hungry Robin in the snow, a Kingfisher perched on a NO FISHING sign, Puffins doing anything. Puffins.  Are there not enough Puffin pictures in the world already?  Can anyone take a picture of a Puffin that we haven't already seen (says the man with not one Puffin picture)?  Yes, this may seem disparaging but it isn't meant to be as these are shots that I have yet to get with any success and in all probability I will drag the missus oop north next spring and melt a couple of SD cards full of Puffins and Gannets and plaster them all over the net.  Maybe it is a rite of passage, a test of your skills against what is already out there.  I don't know.  All I'm trying to say, with little success, is that I would like to think that I know when I am showing a picture which I consider to be a bit of a cliche.  So here you have one.  A Common Tern doing that angel wing thing.  Shockingly harsh light at a really poor angle, but here it is nonetheless; cliche #1.
