Another wonderful day on Formby beach, after about an hour I managed to locate the elegant tern but didn't see it for long because there was a frustrating amount of disturbance today. Quite a few dog walkers about walking right through the birds, almost encouraging their dogs to chase them, as well as horse riders, walkers and even a guy on a bike who cycled right up to the terns and flushed them and then turned around and went back. It looked a pretty pointless exercise but I'm sure that he had a reason.
Still, a wonderful spectacle, thousands of terns still on the beach and also at least one adult little gull and two wheatears
There they go. Spot the elegant tern. It's in the bottom right of the photo.
Keep your eye on it, lets see where it goes.
Still on it?
There's a lot of terns down that way as well.
