Bridled Tern revisited

Another look for the BRIDLED TERN provided good views at Cresswell. I managed to get a couple of views of it on the ground as well as a really close fly by. At least 3 Little Gulls and a Grasshopper Warbler were also present, and an Arctic Skua was off shore.

BRIDLED TERN and the Farnes

On Thursday the BRIDLED TERN was still on the Farnes so we booked a trip there this morning, though when we heard that it was at Cresswell yesterday we took the opportunity to try and see it. After a bit of chasing it around we managed to get a good but short view of it at Chevington. I was too busy watching the bird to get a photo of it. We also saw at least 5 Arctic Skuas and Manx Shearwaters as well as a Grasshopper Warbler and a Cukoo.

Because we had seen the Tern the boat we were booked on was cancelled so we decided to go to Staple Island instead. All the expected birds were seen so I'll just post some photos that I took.
