I do like to be beside the seaside

Don't we all - and doesn't everybody love gulls and terns? Aren't they cute? I don't think so (they're alright). Everybody knows Derek loves gulls so no doubt he'll get hot under the collar at these pics. Thanks to Mark Killops again for a great series of shots - taken last weekend at Groomsport, Co. Down. What's the secret Mark - do you use a pan loaf or chips bait? Tin of sardines for the terns?
