Llandegfedd Terns

4 Terns have been spotted in the last couple days, 2 apparent Common Terns and 2 Arctic. Though, I've personally only seen 3 birds present, I did manage to get some photographs. I'm not the best at IDing Terns.. They are quite difficult to ID from a distance so I'll let the professionals be the judge on which one is which. In my opinion though, in the photograph with all 3 birds, the bird flying is the Artic and the 2 perched on the deck are Common Terns. Either way, It was a great pleasure watching them at Llandegfedd. Glad to see that they are actually using the old dock as a platform.. who knows, we may get them breeding on it one day..(fingers crossed). Spotted yet another Golden-ringed Dragonfly.. seems to be a good year for them so far.
