Back to black

My first patch visit for 12 days tonight, and a decent one it was too; there was a juv Black Tern on Ferry Lane Lake, with a juv Med Gull and a 4cy Yellow-legged Gull with 72 LBBG's in the field to the south. There were also 3 Common Sands and a Green Sand around the site, plus increased numbers of wildfowl.

However, weirdly, there was a report of 2 Continental Black-wits on Ferry Lane Lake at 7.30; 10 minutes after I was there watching the Black Tern; I didn't see the Black-wits, or another birder for that matter...
