Sooty Tern - great bird seen on a very hot July afternoon - heat haze was a real problem! Twitched with Tom, who had dipped the previous day!
Caspian Tern - seen one week after the Cemlyn sooty... twitched after an overtime shift at work, so arrived in the afternoon when the light was unfavourable. Pre-Mull Bryan was there too!
Adult Roseate Tern - St Mary's (Whitley Bay) enjoyed a few years of good mid summer roseate tern gatherings, numbers have since dropped off.

That Caspian Tern was a peach. I remember the hide emptying as I arrived and then the bird appearing in front of the hide - top stuff. It was another week before I got the Sooty Tern!
June is a good month for Terns here, I found Hokkaido's first ever Caspian and second ever Gull Billed............
Wow you got Caspian at Leighton Moss. So many times i went there as a kid in the early 80's and saw literally nothing. Times change.........
