My first juvenile Sandwich Tern of the year at The Patch this morning, quite possibly a French bird as the nearest colony is at One-Plage, sad to think there used to be 100s of pairs nesting on the reserve on islands in Burrowes Pit in the not too distant past. Just a single Mediterranean Gull among the Black-headed Gulls on the beach and nothing passing offshore.  PT dis a circuit of the reserve today and only 3 fresh  juvenile Marsh Harriers of note to report.
