Knott End, Lancashire August 2009 - Sandwich terns are such amazing bird with the most unusual croaking call that carries for such a long way. I often find them a difficult bird to get close to so when I found a family group on the beach whilst out walking with my children I was delighted. It was such a beautiful day and against the blue sky their plumage details stand out even better.
