The LCyD Black Tern

Bird was there when I got into the hide at around 0945 and still flying around when I left at 1550 - in all that time it hadn't landed once, so very very active and mobile.  May be worth checking again first thing in the morning but they don't tend to hang around. As Chris says below though the conditions were horrendous with dreadful light, mist and heavy rain so apols for the quality.

Short-staying Redshank dropped in around 1100 (it's ringed but we don't have all the details), pair of Common Sand and Cormorant nest in the large oak on the big island

  1. The tern did not come any closer then. How did I manage to miss the Common sandpipers?
