After a call from my friend Hugh — who had just picked up a Little Tern on his patch at Maxey/Etton Pits heading in my direction — I kept a close eye on the skies at Deeping Lakes. Sure enough, just under an hour later, it appeared.
I’ve only seen a handful of Little Terns at Deeping Lakes, so it’s a great addition to my patch year list, which now stands at 144. It’s been a productive spell too, with a pair of Spoonbills added this afternoon.
