Arctic Terns down at Dickleburgh Moor, 23 April 2024

With John Marchant having found an Arctic Tern at Dickleburgh Moor I was just about to hot-foot it down there after work when he announced it had flown off. Within about half an hour though he declared that 8 had suddenly put in an appearance so all was not lost! Postponing a shower I dashed there straight away and luckily they were still there - albeit for only about 10 minutes before they too disappeared! In all likelihood they represent the first ever record of the species in the Diss area.

Also over the water were 50+ Swallows and c15 House Martins with the pair of Little Ringed Plovers on the front shore and a drake Pochard still present.
