Sutton Bingham - Sat 8 Oct

A late afternoon visit produced a little bit of interest in a juvenile tern that was present on the shoreline halfway between the hide and the Canoe Club. It was very approachable and a typical "commic" tern. I did manage to rattle off a few record shots with my camera phone and carefyl study led me to the conclusion that it was a Common Tern. The dark carpal bar and greyish upperside along with the pale base to the bill and longish bill and legs all pointed to it being this species. 

The only other birds of note were the long staying Yellow-legged Gull and a single Little Grebe. Despite there being loads of exposed mud, there were no waders anywhere to be seen.
