Otmoor Whiskered Tern


Whiskered Tern found Zoe Edwards and Adam Reid at about 16:30 at the first screen at Otmoor after they were tipped off about a strange dark bellied tern by a member of the public. Joe Harris came to check it out and liaised with Ian Lewington over the phone to confirm the ID at 18:00 when the word was put out. Present till 19:15 when it flew off high to the North.

Returned at about 8pm where it looked settled and ready to roost
