On the move again at last.White-winged black Tern

Not expecting to get out anywhere today then a 9 o'clock phone call from Brian set's us off to Abberton as a White-winged black Tern is about.
It's been a few weeks since we have visited anywhere looking for any new ticks, so really nice to be heading off again for some birding.
With my leg improving week by week it feels good to arrive at the causeway just to do some bird watching again.
After only about 10 minutes Jimmy get's us onto the Tern & we get great flight views & then although a long way off good views as it lands on the end of the spit & stays about for a really good long view.
A Black Tern is also seen along with at least 5 Common Sandpipers, a Hobby is spotted hunting amongst the Starlings, Yellow & Grey Wagtail walking about by the causeway wall.
Nice to meet up with John once again along with a few familiar faces, not to many people here but we seem to know most of them.
So nice to get the old year tick going again & we even get back in the car just before the heavens open that was a right bonus.
