WHISKERED TERN 28-07-10

Having seen my first ever WHISKERED TERN at Saltholme last year, I was delighted that another had turned up at exactly the same place again this year. Lets hope it becomes an annual event! When I arrived there were four birders already there with their scopes on the bird. One bloke kindly let me see it in his scope before I set up my own. It was resting on the spit of the main Saltholme pool and giving exceptionally good views. It was there for a good half hour before it took to the air and lazily headed over toward Back Saltholme.
