Folks,

and at least 3 new non-breeding Whiskered Terns. Knots and RN Stint absent.

There was a big 'boil' happening in the bay - Crested Terns, Silver Gulls and 
Whiskered Terns all fishing quite successfully.

If anyone's going down for the Little Bittern at Eastlakes I'll see you there 
(probably after 5.30pm).
