Sutton Bingham - Sat 2 May

A brief visit on my way to work proved to be a good decision as when scanning the reservoir from the northern causeway I located a tern on one of the buoys. I had a pretty good idea of what it was but decided on a better view so hot-footed to the end of the car park where I was afforded some cracking views of an adult Arctic Tern.

Always a good bird to get on the patch year list, especially as there seem to have been very few terns about so far this year. Still very little else around, though a cold and overcast morning does not tend to encourage anything much.
