No Swallowtail.

Off with the boys to Strumshaw Fen hoping to see the lovely large Butterfly, the Swallowtail.
Not great weather wise, but we will give it a try.
It takes us 2 hours to get there, Brian stops at the Black bean cafe for coffee on the way as he rushed out of home a bit quick as he got up a bit late and he didn't want to keep us waiting for him.

When we get there we spend 2 hours looking around the places where it has been seen the day before, but no sign of it, and it had not been reported on the sightings board.
So we decide to go on to Winterton as Brian & Jimmy need to see Little Tern for a year tick, I already have one from my trip to Pagham Harbour .

We go straight to the beach and find the roped off area and see about 300 breeding pairs, we stay for about 1hour just watching the activity.

A long drive for not a lot, but  nobody said it was easy.  And it makes us appreciate all the more when we do get a result.
