I think these are Common Terns (Sterna hirundo) but it is possible that they are Arctic Tern too. We saw these just near our path by the stony beach but I know it is a place well known, where such birds come to breed. A lot of activity, maybe they are sat on eggs at the water’s edge here and I think I have even caught one pair in the act of trying to mate (despite the mating season now long finished (April-June). A very long (hand-held) lens assured my distance from them so they were not disturbed. The PiP shows the views just around the corner a hundred metres or so away. Enjoy full screen.

Well at least, that is what I think it is. This taken form the small fresh-water lake at Cemlyn Bay in Anglesey, Wales. This lake was actually bigger than it appears to be here as our walk progressed along to the left, a real pleasure under these painterly clouds. The black cows, again are a guess for me being the ‘Welsh Black’ one of the oldest breeds in Britain. Best full screen.

Cemlyn Bay in Anglesey is a wonderful crescent lagoon which is a haven for wild birds and waterfowl. We are near the northern carpark here looking over the old farm and little bridge over the river. To my left and further back is a rather nice freshwater lake. Enjoy full size as usual.
