News of a brief appearance of a White-winged Black Tern on Neumann's today was a bit of shock to say the least, especially given the lack of recent migrant terns. Not one black tern has appeared in Cheshire yet this year. Sadly it didn't linger on the Flash, but luckily it had only relocated to the Mere where Malc refound it. I was stuck at work so had to sweat for a few hours, but was there by 5pm and watched it for an hour. Always a little distant, but the light was superb and the views were excellent.
Whilst I was flouncing up to Fair Isle yesterday the patch had delievered some good local birds for the regulars, including Great White Egret, Avocet, Greenshank and a flock of Black-tailed Godwits, so following Monday's Garganey and Wood Sandpipers it was a bit a red letter week.
