After a large scale Tern movement throughout the country today, I wasn't surprised this afternoon to find the first 3 Common Tern of the year hawking the flash. Amongst these 3, another bird came into view, and I soon came to realise it was in fact the flashes second record of ARCTIC TERN. I was slightly surprised there were no Black Terns present during my visit due to the vast amount of birds present in Cheshire today, however after only an hours visit, I could easily of missed one.
Other birds of note included 2 summer plumaged Black Tailed Godwit, a Little Ringed Plover, 2 Oystercatcher and the first Swift of the year.
