A very wet morning at Carr Vale but again one of those days when you just have to stick it out, just in case you know. Well it worked for at 0930 a flock of four Arctic Terns arrived and stayed a short while before continuing north-west and then at 1000 another flock of nine appeared, again for a short time before heading off north. Getting late for this species but it seems quite a few were moving today through neighbouring counties. Not much else to report save for an extra Common Tern and a distant Hobby.
