10 Arctic Terns also passed through Donna Nook at ca.1015. They came from the SW inland and continued NE out to sea.

Around 13 terns dropped onto Thorpe Lake at Whisby NR about half an hour after it stopped raining this afternoon. At least 8 of them were Arctic and the other 5 or so were Common.

Cheers
