Media notes
Least terns flying up between point of observation and Wilemstoren Lighthouse (distance to observer 1.8 km (bit over a mile)
Observation details
no small groups this time but massive swirls of least terns in large numbers. Flying off directly from the place where they were before flying up. It was like the other groups that flew over the previous days; a matter of maximum 10 seconds and they became invisible against the sky. They simply disappeared if nothing ever happened
