Shei...John - twas a good one indeed and thank you.<br /><br />Sheila - Thanks - the young pheasants were rather cute! Perhaps one day the young will come to visit your garden.<br /><br />Billy - thanks. I'm not v.good at spotting the difference with terns. The picture you refer to is heavily cropped and edited as the tern was so far away.<br /><br />What leads you to think it's not a Common Tern? (I think they were recorded in the "hide" book as Common, but....)<br /><br />Chris - hopefully you'll start seeing eggs very soon :)<br /><br />Jayne - thank you.Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-53864502625627975812009-06-25T21:45:06.534+01:002009-06-25T21:45:06.534+01:00As per usual your shots are brilliant Tricia - rea...As per usual your shots are brilliant Tricia - really enjoyed lookign at them<br />JayneJaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02033588134410227541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-17094904721262505762009-06-25T19:59:59.442+01:002009-06-25T19:59:59.442+01:00Hi Tricia,

Looking at the tern in the last photo, it doesn't look like a Common... more like sandwich or something rarer?Billy Dykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840933193238325733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-30131443230030665682009-06-25T10:23:34.892+01:002009-06-25T10:23:34.892+01:00more lovely photos and a great tale of your day ou...more lovely photos and a great tale of your day out,although they are common I just loved the pics of your young pheasants,we have adults feed in our garden but no youngsters come<br />#sheilaswatsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00330525985066655153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-86376971256051168022009-06-25T09:38:20.273+01:002009-06-25T09:38:20.273+01:00Wow Tricia.

Ah yes - coffee and walnut cake....yum yum.<br /><br />Keith - Thank you. Sorry you didn't "catch" any at the weekend but, as you say, they are fast at times. Just wish I'd been able to catch some as they dived.<br /><br />It was a treat to see the little Tufties! :)<br /><br />Mick thank you. It would have been really great to be able to photograph the young ones from a closer point but at least they're records shots and it was wonderful to see them.<br /><br />Hi NatureStop - thanks and it was a great day out :)Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-94094688876381022009-06-25T05:36:10.922+01:002009-06-25T05:36:10.922+01:00What a wonderful day you had.
