Common Tern - North Cave YWT

A good visit to North Cave Wetlands today where the temperature was 10 degrees more than at home and was lovely and sunny, seems a while since that was the case. Its that time of year when the birding scene is quieter but there was plenty of butterflies and we saw Peacocks, Red Admiral, Brimstone, Gatekeeper, Tortoiseshell, Speckled Wood.

I got loads of shots of some young Reed Warblers which I will process and publish a few. Towards the end of the walk a Common Tern was fishing over the pool and when it came close I tried my luck for about five minutes most were to far off but I like the pictures in this sequence particularly the first shot.
