Friday 30th May: Common Terns
This morning was overcast but dry with relatively little wind
The Meadow is looking like a lake again with the water as far spread as in the depths of winter. There were the usual suspects: mute swans, gadwall, a lone shoveler and a couple of great crested grebes. There were also plenty of black-headed gulls and some lesser black backed gulls as well. The highlight was a couple of COMMON TERNS hunting over the "lake".
There may have been some passage waders about but they would have been on the distant shore line and would not have been easy to spot without a scope.
