Back at Newburgh with "three Grandkids go Birding" (actually Seals they wanted to see)

Back at Newburgh with the noisy brigade who wanted to see the seals, we encountered all four stages in the Six Spot Burnet Moth life cycle. Newly emerged adults had already mated and laid eggs, Olive found a caterpillar, adults were still emerging from cocoons and Lauren has an adult in her hand.

I've added two Little Tern and two Sandwich Tern photos below as I think they're a bit better than previous ones.
