One of the Roseate Terns was a stunner, both on the ground and in flight. The other spent most of its time asleep! There have been up to 3 seen at Seaforth over the past few days.
Year 209 (Roseate Tern)
A digi-scoped image of one of the Roseate Terns asleep. This bird had a white forehead, but while I was watching it, a pristine adult landed behind it. It's not a great picture of course, but you can clearly see how much paler it is than the nearby Common Terns.
The tern colony at Seaforth. I only realised when I viewed the photo on the computer screen, there are three birders looking through the fence at the back of the picture. This where non-permit holders have to view from, at Crosby Marina.
Yellow-wort Blackstonia perfoliata.
Yellow-wort.
Common Centaury Centaurium erythraea, closey related to Yellow-wort.
Evening Primrose (not sure exactly which species).
