Sunday 3rd April

Took another early morning walk over this morning with my wife but it was soon apparent that the Sandwich Tern had moved on. In fact it was rather quiet, with just a couple of singing Chiffchaff and a Blackcap. There were no hirundines around which was a surprise but the good weather probably accounted for that.

However, the Red-crested Pochard was still at the east end but was put up by the launch at 10am it appeared to fly off west but my have circled back.

I received an email from Des Ridge who saw the Sandwich Tern at 3pm yesterday and also took this photograph of the Pochard.
