Missed it by a cats whisker

Four visits and four hours spent at Broom today. Virtually nothing of note all day (except three Common Sands) until dusk. 1 Arctic Tern, along with 58 Common Terns in to roost. No Whiskered Terns.

I did have to pop up to Paxton to see their Whiskered after work though. After about twenty minutes of watching it flew high south, giving me false hope. It had returned to its favoured pit another twenty minutes later.
