Swineham Gravel Pits is within walking distance of my new house in Wareham. I found a Little Gull and Black Tern there on Friday night, but with no camera I returned on Saturday to see if they were still around. The Little Gull was but there was no sign of the Tern. Today, however, a Black Tern was present again, and the Little Gull had been joined by a second, plus two Arctic Tern.
My 400mm lens is being repaired, so these pictures were taken with the DSLR attached to a telescope via an adaptor which turns it into the equivalent of an 800mm lens. Not easy with no autofocus and in blustery weather! Pictures from top: Black Tern, Little Gull, Arctic Tern.
