ARCTIC TERNS and LITTLE GULL drop in

There are a minimum of 4 ARCTIC TERNS amongst 30+ Common Terns at Willen Lake this evening (per Rob Hill). There is also an adult LITTLE GULL there ! These have dropped in since 18 00 when there were only 7 Common Terns on the south and 9 on the north. Earlier the 2 LRP were mating on the spit !

A repeat visit to Furzton this afternoon turned up a male COMMON WHITETHROAT in the same set of brambles that the first CETTI'S WARBLER for the site continued to belt out its presence (Simon Nichols)
