6 July 2019 - Hollingworth Lake

Roe Deer, Common Tern, Sand Martins, Little Ringed Plover, Sparrowhawk

Relatively dull this morning on a walk around the lake, but a Common Tern was present, and seemed to be doing a regular circuit just off the nature reserve and Pavilion point.  I spent a little time trying to get some flight shots, and eventually managed one or two, although the light meant the results were a bit grainy, with high ISO required to get at least a 1000/sec shutter speed.

Also tried some hirundine flight shots with rather less successful results, although at least one each of House and Sand martin were passable (if a little off-centre).
