Hehe :-)
We could take terns at this...-

I'm not that gull-ible

The correct saying is:
One good term deserves another... holiday.-
- 09/07/09 @ 10:59:15
That's another good line .....

I would not want to talk out of tern, but it could be a Black-headed Gull. Just a thought.
-
- 09/07/09 @ 09:34:18
Upon reflection, I think you are right that it's a Black Headed Gull - I'm terrible at identifying them so thanks for putting me right!
-
- 09/07/09 @ 09:55:13
That is okay, I had to look it up!

Contrary to my pseudonym, I'm not an expert but it looks like a Common Tern. The detail on the legs is very good and when you zoom it up, the shadow of the lifted foot takes on a new meaning....excellent.

It is a black headed gull...true.
-
- 09/07/09 @ 09:36:02
Yup, definitely a gull. It really should have been a Tern though as it was on a shingle beach which is their natural habitat...

I've got a stay of execution from my operation, it's now the 18th august and I really miss the coast, so a few visits may be on the agenda whilst I still have a few bob left from the redundo.

There are some lovely coastal areas on your side of the country, so that would be nice.

Actually, it's a black headed gull pretending to be a tern just to confuse Seaside Man!

-
- 09/07/09 @ 09:35:09
After hunting through the bird book I agree with you - I have much to learn about birds!

Nevertheless, it's a good bird photo, so don't worry about it!

-
- 09/07/09 @ 09:40:07
Aha - so it's not your tern?

-
- 09/07/09 @ 10:03:28
Unfortunately no - it's my gull. No, that doesn't work does it? I'll throw myself into a gully...
-
- 09/07/09 @ 10:08:15
Better make it a black one!

-
- 09/07/09 @ 10:25:00
I'd prefer a Mediterranean one...

Birds suits me too as I'm so terrible at identifying them!

Beautiful, no matter what it is. I saw a Great Blue Heron on Lake George beach the other day, and some touron kept insisting it was a gull!
-
- 09/07/09 @ 20:05:58
Gosh, Heron's are lovely, and I've never seen a blue one!
-
- 09/07/09 @ 20:32:55
This Tern is SO beautiful, Tom.
Thank you: JW-

I want to try and photograph a few more birds now I have the equipment for it. There are lots round here, including a few rare ones.
Cheers, Tom.

Hi, you said he gets bigger if you click - I did that and he is one big bird, was the water cold, he is picking up his feet.
Very impressive photo.-
- 09/07/09 @ 21:53:24
Hi Marje, it was a reasonably warm day. I was pretty pleased with the way this picture turned out.
Tom.
