At the flash today, a common tern was not only my first of the year but also my earliest ever in the UK. A drake common scoter was present this morning but not this afternoon, but once again it's hard to say that the 2000 or so sand martins were not the highlight. Just an amazing sight in the afternoon rain, but I could still only pick out a single swallow and two house martins. Also today, four little ringed plovers and a little egret.
