Doffcocker lodge, Bolton June 28th 2009 and the Common terns are coming to the end of their breeding season. Two short months since they arrived and in the next week or so they will be gone. I have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather to brush up on my very rusty flight skills. My camera I think needs a clean or a service as it is a little sticky on the rapid fire but I was still able to get some of the shots I wanted. This female tern has just seen her mate return to the raft with a fish and is going to see if she can get a share of the catch.
