More Stuff at Mire!!!

Bloody annoying to miss a Black Tern that flew into Mire last night around 7pm, remained for a short while before flying off, probably never to be seen again!!... In Shropshire, at least!!...

However, I was up at 5am this morning & off to VP to check if anything had dropped in... It hadn't!!! 'Crap' is the only word to describe VP at the moment!!
So, a quick dash to Mire lake where I joined ze Guru, Mike & Big V, where another year tick awaited, not a Black Tern, but a Common Tern!! The summer pl. Knot was still present & was feeding along with 6 Dunlin & 3 LRP's!! A Cuckoo did a brief fly thru & then began calling at the east end of the pool. A very showy Sedge Warbler was in the hedge behind us.
Sadly, the morning resulted in little else... But at least now I am 'knocking on the door of 150' also!!!...

I now have to go fetch my daughter from school... Besides, it's been a long time since 5am this morning!!!
