Audouin's Gull in Lincolnshire

Despite being very mobile, moving several miles up and down the coast around Chapel Point, this 3rd summer (moulting to 4th winter) Audouin's Gull did occasionally settle long enough for birders to catch up with it and for some to obtain excellent photographs as it rested on the beach before another feeding foray out to sea.

Roseate Terns, South Shields, County Durham

Four beautiful photos of this increasingly rare British breeding bird by Glyn Sellors. These two ringed birds are more than likely from their stronghold further north along the coast in Northumberland at Coquet Island, where 90% of UK Roseate Terns now breed.

Red-footed Falcon, Derbyshire

Four fabulous shots of the female Red-footed Falcon near Ingleby in Derbyshire by Glyn Sellors. Although there has been quite an influx of these beautiful birds into the UK, it does seem to be far less than the remarkable record-breaking invasion of 1992... much to the relief of Birdnet's pager operatives!

Dipper, Lathkill Dale, Derbyshire

Two beautiful photos of an adult taking food to a young bird at Lathkill Dale by Glyn Sellors.
