On July 31st David and I headed out to Orfordness via Alton Water. The target bird was a White-winged (Black) Tern that had been seen on the two previous days. We tried both first thing and last thing without luck. There were no further reports of this bird and it seems the bird had moved on!
We spent the middle part of the trip on Orfordness, a short boat trip to the end of the shingle spit being necessary. The area was interesting historically and we did well with our birds which included Northern Gannet and Sandwich Tern. However we dipped on Eurasian Spoonbill, a number of birds had been at nearby Havergate Island, with individuals seen at Orfordness.
