Arctic tern Friday 16th October 2009
The 2 drake Common Scoter seen at Shustoke reservoir the previous day had been replaced by a female, so after a quick look at the newcomer it was off to Coton and environs, nothing much to report except an increase in the numbers of Wigeon. After a Coffee at the Cedars it was time for a stroll round the Water Park. Cliff Pool had a Green Sandpiper and a few Common Snipe but on the way back I noticed an Arctic Tern on Canal pool. It was interesting that the bird was diving presumably for fish rather than taking insects off the surface as the Shustoke birds had done. I spent an enjoyable hour or so chatting to the Carp fishermen and trying to take a few snaps of the Tern.
