Yesterday evening about 9 o'clock I casually checked Birdguides, that had had nothing of interest on it all day, Caspian Tern in Shoreham, noooooooo! First report at 17.08 can't believe I missed it!!😢😢😂Typical, my own fault missed out on my number 2 target bird!! Black Kite being number 1!!
Obviously I was up early and on my way down, but I kind of knew it wouldn't be there!! it wasn't 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭 I walked the length of the river, from Ropetackle to the last bridge, bumped into local birder Richard, he hadn't seen it, nor had his mate who was upstream. Richard did point out some Little Ringed Plovers. I was surprised there were so few Birders looking, I suppose most sensible birders had gone yesterday or were were waiting for news, because they know they don't usually stay 2 days!! I also saw a couple of Avocets, a Common Sandpiper, a fair few Swifts and a lot of Black-headed Gulls!!
