Ouse Fen Birder
@brickert.bsky.social
I think therefore I bird. Local patch RSPB Ouse Fen and RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes. Achieved birding ambition of seeing a representative from every bird family worldwide in 2024.
Bird behind LT is a juv Common Tern - gingery on mantle, pale reddish bill base. Ringed bird in flight looks like adult Common Tern - angle and light makes bill look short and redder than others in pic but Arctic wing pattern would be much neater.
