I dropped the little ones to school in Hornchurch today then picked up the Jims and headed over to KGV as Jim had seen a report of seven Black Terns on south basin. We climbed the bank and scanned finding the seven Black Terns straight away. A Lesser Whitethroat sang behind the sailing club hut and a smart Sinensis Cormorant dried off on the Jetty. On the causeway we found three Common Sandpipers to give Dad another year tick. We'd missed a short staying Greenshank earlier and a reported Spotted Flycatcher wasn't refound. The Black Terns picked up height and drifted off north about 10.45am leaving us pleased we'd made the call to go straight away to see them.
Year list now 195
