Well, I'll never name them all, Joe - but I'll start the list!
Lots of BHGs, some Carrion Crows, Lapwings, 2 Common Terns and a Coot
Then there is a Diver or Grebe(?) of sorts and a very shy Wader - but I'll leave Beryl and Rolf to suggest what these are!
Well you did well Catherine. As far as I know there are no BHG (all the gulls are common terns with some youngsters and juveniles there as well) It is great crested grebe she's been sat there for 2 weeks now. There is also a mute swan (only the face visible to the left of the terns in the air.) I only put this shot up cos I was surprised at how they all live together
I would have said BHG as well Catherine, but now with a closer look I can see that they are common Terns. But blinkin' heck - that's a lot of birds there, it IS amazing how they can all live together.
Ah! I can see that they're all Terns when I enlarge the shot - had only correctly ID'd the two on the pebbles.
What were the Terns up yo then - the ones mid-shot?
And is that a Redshank - or something smaller - in the left foreground?
Now, you did ask, Joe, so we want to know!.gif "Smile")
The ones in midshot were adults trying to encourage the juveniles to fly. having gone to the orinal shot and enlarged it on the pc, I think the wader may be a redshank or common sandpiper, but its not sharp enough to ID 100%. There are both of these waders around, at the other end of the island there are cormorants but the lens is not wide enough to get them all in.
