Andy M was at home first thing this morning, watching the rain out of the window, when he noticed the unmistakable silhouette of a medium sized tern flying quite low over his garden, heading east.
Its size, the narrow pointed wings, long tail streamers and dainty flight made it likely this was either a Common or Arctic Tern, and given the location and time of year, this was undoubtedly an adult Common Tern.
Derek indicated that this species has not been reported by ANW in the Abingtons before.
