Had a 3 hour walk down the beach from Skegness to Gib North Building and back this evening from 17:00. The beach was empty until opposite North Building and so was the sea. However, the channel between the beach and the sand bank was full of activity with at least 400 Sandwich Terns actively fishing in the seemingly clear water. I watched this spot for an hour and they were repeatedly joined by various Gannets which stopped to fish. Also present were Little, Common and Arctic Terns (12 together )and of course attendant Skuas.
At one point there were 9 Arctic Skuas in the air at once harrassing the Terns and a single ad Pale Phase Pom with one spoon and a broken tail feather joined in but soon continued south.
At the same time a Tern flock on the beach had 273 Sandwich ( 41 juvs ), 11 ad Common and 3 ad Arctic Terns.
