Terns

I was delighted to see the arrival of the latest series in 'The New Naturalist Library" No.123 book on the 'Terns by David Cabot and Ian Nisbet".  I was more delighted when a selection of my own shots made the publication and a signed copy arrived in the post from the authors.  It looks fantastic and well worth the money.  Here are a few shots that did not make the grade.

    I remember you telling me about doing the photo's for this John. Glad to see it finally finished. Will pick up a copy for my collection. Well done, I may even look for you autograph. ;-)

    Cheers Jamsie,

    Hope you are well?
    Myself and Floss were only talking about you the other day.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Murf.

    Looks good Murf, when you were talking about it I hadn't realised it was the same book I had already "ear-marked" for adding to the collection, like James. If the shots that didn't make it are anything to go by, it should be a cracker!
