One good Tern deserves another

Arrived at Ham Wall on a bright sunny morning 7-30 to see the Terns at Loxton's Marsh but found not two but four, two adults and two good sized fluffy chicks, the adults put on a splendid display of Aerial agility seeing off a marauding Lesser-b-b-Gull and soon after sent a Sparrow Hawk on its way.Other sightings, a pair of Great-c-Grebes with four juveniles, Little Grebes with young, four Bitterns sightings and various Ducks with a group of Cormorants sharing the raft with the Terns. Returning home my favorite pale Buzzard at Blakeway. This afternoon returning from Ashcott a beautifully marked Buzzard at the approach to Ham Wall.Photos of Terns etc can be seen on my Website.
