13th August 2016

Had time for a quick look at the Openspace this am, which produced 7 Blackcaps, 2 Willow Warblers and singles of Coal Tit, Goldcrest, Chiffchaff, Bullfinch and Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Was in Southampton today so decided to head to Titchfield Haven just in case the aquatic warbler appeared again this evening. As it turned out, I only managed to get their just before closing time so didn't bother. I instead decided to scan through some of the terns on the beach for any roseates but all I found before they were flushed was this Common Tern doing it's best impression of one!

Common Tern - Titchfield Haven

It was high tide so most of the terns were now out on the Solent. Scanning through them I located one very pale bird, but it was too distant to get a positive ID.
