Anybody would think birds of a feather flocked together... I like those photos, particularly the terns and the trees. I sometimes watch terns fishing in the Thames - it's very interesting the way they hold their position over the water in a headwind, then arc round to the same place after they've gone for a fish. They're a lovely colour as well. So similar to gulls in many ways, but so much more beautiful.
