Observation details
Adult in breeding plumage roosting on eastern shore of Wader Pit on arrival. Huge tern, dwarfing surrounding Black-headed Gulls, with bright red bill. Cap neat and black. Legs black. Confirmed as unringed from video footage. Spent some time sleeping and preening, but then flew off SW and spent about 25 minutes fishing in the private pits. Then flew north and away over the fen at 20:10, occasionally turning NE but seemingly went north in the end – we tried to intercept it on the Glen bridge on South Fen Road but it didn’t appear there. No further sign by 21:30.
