Count the species in one shot

Well, I'll never name them all, Joe - but I'll start the list!:)
Lots of BHGs, some Carrion Crows, Lapwings, 2 Common Terns and a Coot
Then there is a Diver or Grebe(?) of sorts and a very shy Wader - but I'll leave Beryl and Rolf to suggest what these are!;)

Well you did well Catherine. As far as I know there are no BHG (all the gulls are common terns with some youngsters and juveniles there as well) It is great crested grebe she's been sat there for 2 weeks now. There is also a mute swan (only the face visible to the left of the terns in the air.) I only put this shot up cos I was surprised at how they all live together

I would have said BHG as well Catherine, but now with a closer look I can see that they are common Terns. But blinkin' heck - that's a lot of birds there, it IS amazing how they can all live together.

Ah! I can see that they're all Terns when I enlarge the shot - had only correctly ID'd the two on the pebbles. :(
What were the Terns up yo then - the ones mid-shot?
And is that a Redshank - or something smaller - in the left foreground?

Now, you did ask, Joe, so we want to know!:)

The ones in midshot were adults trying to encourage the juveniles to fly. having gone to the orinal shot and enlarged it on the pc, I think the wader may be a redshank or common sandpiper, but its not sharp enough to ID 100%. There are both of these waders around, at the other end of the island there are cormorants but the lens is not wide enough to get them all in.
