23/08/2017 A really bad twitch!

Wednesday 23 August 2017
Norfolk

Alastair and I tried to twitch the Caspian Tern at Potter Heigham today.  

  • Unfortunately, I couldn't get away until 2 p.m. which meant we didn't reach our destination until gone 7 p.m. - by which time the tern had gone!  
  • We moved quickly to Breydon Water where it normally roosted but a couple of local birders informed us it hadn't been seen.
  • Alastair thought he had it in his scope but it was so far away and the light was so poor we could not be sure.
  • To make matters worse, on the way home the M11(S) was closed down as far as Stansted Airport and the resulting diversion caused us to get home at 00.30!
