Sandwich Terns - Holme

I really enjoy watching Terns in flight. So elegant. I was lucky enough to come across 60+ Sandwich Terns a few weeks ago at Holme. We were on an early morning wader watch at high tide. It was cloudy at first but eventually the sun came out  and that's when everything looks so much better and also makes for much better pictures.


 
The odd Common Tern were in amongst the dozens of Sandwich Terns.

    1. Hi, my header picture was taken on the beach at Hoylake, on the Wirral. Large numbers of waders gather there during the winter. High tide is best as they get pushed closer and higher up the beach.
