Brian had a few hours free today and decided to head to Fen Drayton Lakes in Cambridgeshire, where a White-winged Black Tern had been present since the 4th. The reports on the way up had said it was present on Drayton Lagoon, so upon arrival, we headed to that lagoon, only to be told that the tern had disappeared after a heavy rain shower. After a quick scan of the lagoon, we headed back towards the car park to scan Ferry Lagoon, the other area where the tern had previously been seen.
As we approached the area, another birder told us that the tern had been present on Ferry Lagoon, but it had now flown back towards Drayton Lagoon! Thankfully, the tern was seen flying over the Lagoon on our return. It was a case of walking along the grass bank and viewing the Lagoon from any available breaks in the trees.
