Little Terns - Middleton Lakes RSPB

Wednesday 26th June 2013

Outer Hebrides or Inner Middleton Lakes, Hum? Difficult one that. In the event inertia won and the impressive Jubilee Wetlands was the preferred choice. The pair of Little tern, reported earlier, were still there on a shingle spit. While I was there, presumably the male would on several occasions fly down to Fishers Mill (Warks.) and then turn back into the wind to feed in the reedy pools just to the north of Fishers Mill(Staffs.) and then fly back to 'present' the fish to the female. On the same spit there was also a  Whimbrel, a welcome bonus.
