Black Tern

Another check of the sea today revealed that there were still some birds feeding offshore, but by no means anywhere near the numbers of yesterday, however a Black Tern which was lingering amongst the other feeding terns was a very welcome sight being the first one for the year. Other birds seen included a flock of 3 Eider and the first Pinkfeet of the autumn were noted heading west.

Some recent news on the butterfly front, my first Painted Lady of the year was noted in the village yesterday, and having been absent from there so far this year, a small number of Common Blues have finally emerged in Felbrigg Park.
