The terns always seem to be there and get very upset if a seagull passes too close. In fact they saw off a Great Skua when CJ and I were down on the shore on Sunday. I feel rather reluctant to post the pictures I took given the fabulous tern pictures CJ has on his Blog. They were quite a long way off for the camera but here they are anyway:
