A wonderfully dismal, drizzly morning at the flash produced the hoped for black tern, an adult moulting around the head. Common tern numbers were well down, around 15 birds with at least four juveniles. Two common sandpipers were on the spit, and adult and juvenile little ringed plover at the boat club and two Egyptian geese still on the car park.
