No self-respecting Blogger would miss an opportunity to use a Tern pun...would they? First venture out along the Cliff since the Monsoon abated. North to the second Pill it was, through the ripening Wheat. There was even a hint of something Blue in the Sky! Fortunately the tide was way out exposing a large expanse of pure sand...

There were a large number of the regular Gulls of different ages loafing on the Beach which made this lone adult Lesser Black-backed stand out...
I could hear the far carrying call of Sandwich Terns...but I couldn't see any close in. A flock of 18 Oystercatchers sped South. close in, low over the waves. We had a break at the second Pill Box before starting to retrace our steps...carefully!
Further scanning of the beach revealed some smaller "blobs" on the tide line. Some are just that BUT a small cluster promised more...

Then some larger ones...

| Sandwich Terns (8) |
A few more Common appeared totalling eight also. Signs of "Autumn".
