"Excellent" set of wildlife style captures Tara, liking all of these pic's very much.

What beautiful birds they all are! And really great captures. Presumably that's Cemlyn Bay?

What a fabulous place for bird photography! Do you have any idea how the terns are doing this year?

Pretty good so far, was a bit cold and wet early on, so some birds were a bit late but they seem to be doing ok now, plenty of grub being brought in by parents so hopefully we'll have lots of fledglings.

Great news! I must try hard to visit later in the summer.

Early August is a good time, as the parents feed the 'fledglings' at high tide on the rocks to the left of the bay ( just beyond the buildings at the end of the free carpark on the western headland)
