We took a trip across the water to Marshside for the first time in a while. Plenty to see including Avocet, Black-tailed Godwits and a couple of Little Gulls still present. There was also a Bar-headed Goose in with the Canada Geese.
We then headed on to Preston Dock where we saw c100 Common Tern and 1 Arctic Tern (although there are 2 there).
At 20:00 I headed down the Ribble Estuary (Lytham Jetty) and just like last night the conditions were glorious. Skylarks, House Martins, Meadow Pipits, Goldfinch, Swallows - plenty going on. Like last night there were Common Terns present but on arrival I only counted 8. By the time I left at 21:00 there were 47! There was also 1 Arctic Tern that I saw, the streamers were noticeably longer and the underparts a darker grey clearly contrasting with the white of the tail. Again, like last night a Little Gull flew over and 9 immature Grey Heron were dotted across the waters edge.
