The Common Terns down at Preston Dock,so photogenic and a pleasure to watch.I definitely will be returning to try and capture more images of these wonderful birds. In the meantime I've posted a few of my better efforts of these birds for your enjoyment.

Little Brown Job as some birders call a small group of birds,the Whitethroat being classed in this group,but I don't agree I think it's a wonderful bird that is so readily overlooked by so many birders. I hope my images make people change their mind about this wonderful bird.

RATTY.






There had been signs that WATERVOLES had populated a small stream north of Preston. Unfortunately this was aprox 200yd's from houses and 500yd's from a pub.An early start was called for and I arrived on site at 5.30 am and was lucky enough to see five of these endangered animals.Iwas packed and away by 7.00am before most people had woken from their slumber.I've posted a few images for your enjoyment.
