Cleethorper Terns and Update to Head Scratchers

Sue and I went to Soil Hill this aft (no bins no camera) to hunt for my Tarpcap and amazingly I found it - quite  a long way from where it left me 'ed.

I've  have had some good feedback from 2 birding friends regarding my earlier blog photos and have updated the blog accordingly.
With 800 photos to look through the brain gets a bit flummoxed but overall I'm quite happy with 'most' my birding ID's!

Terns:

I had the pleasure of finding two sets of Terns while birding at Cleethorpes.
The first Terns were very distant on a shingle type banking near the sea.
The second Terns were nearer, along the beach, following a big storm.
I was hoping for something extra special but Common Terns and Sandwich Terns were here and possibly one Arctic Tern but the photo does not show enough details really.

Some photos:-
