Some excellent Common Tern shots here Geoff, my favourite being your 'impressive exchange' which has flown off....probably to end up on another blog sometime!
Thanks Pete, I hope 'better' ones will follow. The 'exchange' sadly was just too far away... we keep trying. I'll make it 'up north' again one day!
