Forster's Tern: I got lucky this time, as while Dawn and I were visiting my mum in Essex, this little beaut turned up!

We only had to wait an hour in the grey and cold before the bird came into view giving us some brilliant flyby views and cheering up the waiting crowds.
Unfortunately I was too slow with my camera and struggled with the railings that obscured the auto focus, but excuses for the poor images aside, it was brilliant to be in the right place at the right time and to see the bird.






Dawn and I both hungry and cold then went for the best pizza I have had in a very long time at an Italian restaurant,  Lucca Enoteca is simply the best Italian restaurant around!!
