After dipping Roseate Tern at Titchfield Haven last week I had
been reluctant to make the trek over to Titchfield again for fear of another
dipping session. But at least one bird had continued to be reported all week
and this morning I felt I may as well give it another go. On my arrival I started
to scan the small gathering of Terns on the beach in front of the sailing club
to no avail, the tide was high and I expected to have to wait until the large
number of Terns in the Solent returned to
roost on the exposed shingle as the tide dropped. I could see there were a few
Terns on the river and around the island near the visitors centre and so I wandered
over to the viewing area and began to scan through them. It wasn't long before I
noticed the Roseate Tern in the photographs below.
