Media notes
Large groups getting up and flying West SW (had to zoom in to make the visible. Group extended in similar numbers left and right of the picture (total group was very likely 3x the number of the birds shown in this picture)
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
