Whinchat at Castor Meadows

Sandwich Tern at Ferry Meadows

On arrival the Tern was resting on an orange buoy which was some way from the shore. After chatting to a 'dingy' man who was just about to go out onto the water I asked him if he would help to bring the Tern in closer by sailing near to the buoy and hopefully persuade it to relocate to a nearer buoy. As can be seen from the photo he managed to move it on to the closer Yellow(just) buoy. There was an even closer one but I didn't want to push my luck!

Having dipped on the Pallid last Thursday we trekked again to Suffolk. This time with success having good views as it fed over the fishing ponds in Kessingland
