Missed again at Minsmere

On Wednesday May afternoon, hearing of a Gull- billed Tern I left straight away and was very disappointed to hear it had flown off when I arrived at Minsmere car park, both Jon B. and Jane F. informed me it had gone. The Rosy Tern's were also not present, I always struggle with seeing this species at Minsmere. All 3 Terns had been seen twenty minutes previously. On the North Girder, 40+ Sandwich Terns seen, c15 Common Terns plus a Dunlin too. On the bund closer to the South Hide, 7 Little Tern seen. A flock of 40+ Black- tailed Godwits seen in the soth-east corner of west scrape. A stop off nearby revealed a Stone Curlew quite close but unfortunately the bright setting sun was directly behind it. plus a Dunlin too.
