Little Terns and Seals at Winterton

On Saturday, as high temperatures were forecast, I decided on a trip to Winterton (I was staying in Norwich); this proved a good move as there was a cooling sea breeze for the day. The colony of Little Terns (plus occasional Sandwich and Arctic Terns) rested on the beach and then flew around in a large flock when anyone approached. A couple of Seals joined in the fun for a time. Into the light and with light behind gave totally different image styles.
