This last few days have been just as hectic and fruitful as ever. Yesterday I undertook another great boat trip just off shore and it was a truly wonderful experience. We made our way back to the half sunken wreck and once there, tied ourselves to the wreckage and I photographed the terns that were using the rusty steelwork to rest upon. The light was perfect and my hundreds and hundreds of pictures need to be sorted through carefully. A job for a cold dank day back in the UK I think. We approached some traditional prawn fisging boats because Black Noddy Terns were using them as a resting place and I am glad to say that at last I took some very good shots of this nice and unusual tern species. On the way back in to the mouth of the river a small group of Caspian Tern were feeding and I was successful in getting pictures of this large tern species with a bright red bill. All in all its hard to choose which have been my best encounters but heres a se;action of pictures from the last few days. The bird above is a Pond Heron.
