Caspian & Spoonbills on Breydon

After work on Tuesday 11th July, I saw Steve S. who said the Caspian was still there and really nice to see Peter A. in the hide. The fine adult Caspian Tern was along the edge of the estuary stood in some short grass to the far right. I scoped it for a while before it flew a short way into a pool by some Black- headed Gulls, it was obscured by long grass but the head and the orange bill. Meanwhile on the bumps, a Whimbrel flew in and was chased by a Curlew. Further back, a large group of Black- tailed Godwits c60 and c100 Curlew and c80 Avocets seen too. Suddenly the Caspian Tern flew north but soon reappeared flying back amsettling again amongst the Black- headed Gulls, 2 Spoonbills, an adult and black wing-tipped immature flew down and walked around the mud.
