After several failed attempts at trying to find Black Terns at Draycote Water a few weeks ago, I have been keeping an eye on Birdguides during the day for reports of any close by. I have also taken to ensuring I have my bins with me at all times, which proved very beneficial when the Woodchat Shrike appeared recently at Brandon.
So, today when it was reported that 3 Black Terns were at Shustoke, I made the journey across Warwickshire during rush hour in order to try and see these beautiful birds. After taking an hour to do less than 20 miles I eventually arrived at Shustoke and was not disappointed. I could only find one Black Tern but it was a beauty and I obtained my best views ever (not close enough for a record shot but close enough to just be awed by it). Great Birds.
