Whiskered Tern
2 common sandpiper and a grey wagtail, as well as the tern (although chose to sit on buoy 7) this afternoon
The Whiskered Tern was still showing well at 8.30 this morning and was the highlight of 2 very good days finding year birds for me.
Yesterday. Ham Wall: Cuckoo, Garden Warbler, Ruff. Tealham Moor: Wheatear and Channel Wagtail. At least 2 Yellow wags of which one definitely had a grey/blue head.
Today Durleigh: Whiskered Tern, Common Sandpiper (Grey Wagtail also seen but not a year first)
Otterhampton/Wall Common. Sedge Warbler singing strongly near the main WWT car park. At least 6 Little Ringed Plover on Otterhampton. At Wall Common a Common Whitethroat doing song flights. So catching up after a rather slow start to spring migrants. Now 147 for year!
