No Tern

Bothal Pond again this morning where the Black-winged Pratincole was showing well in the rain. No sign of the Gull-billed Tern.

At Cresswell a Little Gull dropped onto the spit, where 6 Avocet were on nests and the first eggs hatching.

Little Gull

Three and a half hours in the bitter cold at Bothal this evening failed to turn up the Gull-billed Tern. The pratincole was still showing well along with 2 Yellow Wagtail.
