26th July 2016 (Norfolk)

After Norwich today, decided to have a look at Hickling Broad in hope that the caspian tern might reappear. Checked my phone just after arriving and saw that it had! After a short walk and a brief scan, I was watching the CASPIAN TERN. That makes up for missing the two in Avon earlier this year (this may well be one of the same birds). Also of note on the scrape were lots of Ruff, 2 each of Little Gulls and Greenshank and singles of Spoonbill, Wood Sandpiper, Green Sandpiper, Med Gull , Sedge Warbler, Marsh Harrier and Chinese Water Deer.
