Black Tern Magic

Black Tern (Dennis Stinton)
Black Tern (Mark Clarke)
Swift (Mark Clarke)
Cuckoo (Dennis Stinton)
Black-tailed Godwit (Mark Clarke)
Common Tern (Dennis Stinton) 

Our site list moved nicely onto 122 this week with the additions of Black Tern & Greenshank. Black Terns are always an amazing bird to see every year. You forget how small & nimble they are to the large but still graceful Common Terns.

The midweek easterlie winds supported a real influx of movement across the midlands. Our counts included 6 Black Terns (8/5)   & 2 (9/5), 11 Dunlin (8/5), 2 Cuckoo, Redshank & 4 Common tern.
