Brief Roseate Tern saves the day after missing Orchids & Adders
On Friday 20 May, I had a look in deepest Suffolk for GBOs and BNOs but couldn't find any, a What's App message stated there was a Roseate Tern at Minsmere, so I drove the short distance and from the South Hide a small strip of mud bordering the south scrape and running parallel to the hide albeit at the back proved the fine Roseate Tern (my first at Minsmere for over 10 years as I have dipped many since) was still there. With vert white plumage, pinkish flush on the chest tiny legs and virtually all black bill wonderful to see. I watched it for a few minutes and I looked awy and it was gone!
