Black Terns at Ferry Meadows

Poor quality record shots, but they give a bit of the feel of the bird. I'm sure there will be better ones to follow.

Greenland Wheatear, Maxey GP

Clearly a very different bird from yesterday. Another female but the orange colour a shade browner and extending to most of the underparts. A bulky, 'chesty' looking bird indicative of the Greenland race.
