White-winged Black Tern at Ferry Meadows

Ferry Meadows seems to be getting more than its fair share of good birds just lately, the Common Scoters and Black-necked Grebe of last week and then yesterday came the news of an adult White-winged Black Tern patrolling one of the lakes. Crikey!

My photos are less than satisfactory, being on the wrong side of the lake, but I am posting them as a record (again!), but Mike Weedon has kindly allowed me to use one of his stunning photos to show you what the bird should look like! Click on Mike's name above to see some more shots.




As can be seen from above, my shots do not do the bird justice, but below is one of Mike's photos. Much better!

What a bird and a PBC lifer to boot!
