  1. Nice one Bob. The Common Tern is even more popular than usual with me as a pair have returned to a small pool in our area hopefully to breed or their second year. Kind Regards Pete.

  12. Lieber Bob,
    die Fotos der Flussseeschwalbe sind dir gut gelungen. Ich habe sie zum ersten
    Mal auf der Insel Rügen gesehen. Ein herrlicher Vogel.
    Liebe Grüße schickt Dir
