    From time to time it's good to get back to the more common or garden birds, John, and you've done that splendidly here - although photographable Jays and Sand Martins aren't exactly commonplace!! Wonderful images, but I particularly like the preening Sand Martin.

    Best wishes to you both - - - - Richard

    Some lovely photos of your local birds. I love sand martins, too - I could (and have) watched them for ages going to and from their nests.
