Abu Dhabi - Terns return

[ijwilki]

Just spent 15 minutes at the site shoreline - observed at least 10 Little Terns fishing and several Caspian Terns passing by - haven't seen any for quite some time. No chance of a photo as I would have been pointing directly at the sun, but I'll try and spend some more time there for photographs - difficult as we've no work being carried out near the shoreline now - maybe I'll use 'Environmental Inspection' as an excuse.
Other birds spotted were Greenshank, Grey Heron, Reef Egret, Grey Plover, Kentish Plover, distant flocks of Cormorant and various Gulls - BH, LBB, SB.

Has the weather started to turn there yet Ian? When does it get into the 30's regularly?

[ijwilki]

End of March/early April Peter. Are you going to visit again?

[PeterB]

It's being "discussed"..... I just want to goto Norfolk.

Those Little Terns will soon be heading north won't they Ian? I'm looking forward to catching up with them again at the Gronant colony in N.Wales!
Hope you manage to get some photographs!
