Wind and rain conspired to create conditions ideal for Tern passage today! Getting out and about, Tom Lowe found six Black Terns at The Mere, Ellesmere and after arriving mid afternoon, I managed to 'up' the count to nine! Thanks to John Martin for helping with ID of some of these, never easy!!
Here's a few pics of Black Terns, all except one juv were patchy adults taken at distance 100- 200m!
A shame they didn't come closer but still a stunning spectacle!
