Pictures of an exceptional record of Arctic Terns at Calvert on 26th April. Not only is the shear number of birds very unusual but to see them resting on the water is also very odd. Tim estimates that there were c35 Terns on the water at one time with more in the air. It is not certain if they are all Arctic Terns but it does seem fairly likely that the majority were of this species.
