Common Tern and Black-headed Gull

 although they nest on the same rafts not the best of neighbours 

coastal terns and Kitts

a bit cool and breezy on Friday at the sea but still plenty of Sandwich Terns and a few Common, a couple of juvenile Arctic and a couple of Kittiwakes north -- seem to be a lot of decent sized fish out there judging from what birds are carrying but few juvenile Sandwich amongst the throngs as yet -- one Arctic Skua seems to be indicative of the vast reduction in the number of this once regular blogger on the Lincs coast

this morning's offerings

my first Common Sandpipers, well behind the field, one or two more Common Terns, a picturesque
Pied Wagtail and a fleeting Weasel

Common Terns in different light

cannot recall where the quote "there is no such thing as bad light just different light or is it interesting light?" comes from or if I have just amalgamated two quotes to make it -- anyway some Common terns in the evening

Common Terns are in

with lots of display flights

Grasshopper Warbler, Common Tern and Barn Swallow

Common Terns are back

about 8 today on the local pits -- hopefully they will fare better than the last two years with Mink / Otters taking all the young / eggs and no young fledging at all in 2017
