Spurn gull-billed tern!

Today I started on nights in the evening so had a day free. This turned out to be handy in the afternoon when a gull-billed tern was found by Pete Wragg on Kilnsea wetlands! A 2nd for Spurn and a lifer for me meant a mad rush to the tide which was packed with around 30 locals. Luckily the tern was still present in the black headed gull flock and I was able to get some phone scoped record shots before it flew west then south-west over the hide. Other highlights included a roseate tern, a Drake greater Scaup & 220 sandwich tern at beacon ponds.
