Before the Whiskereds had even departed, another marsh tern influx occurred. Most of them were WWBTs, but as the experienced Lesvos birders know there's always a 'regular' Black Tern amongst them...

And, on top of the 'marsh' terns, plenty of Littles and Commons...

There were also lots of Sandwich and Gull-billeds which I've shown you before. However, what they don't get is Arctic and Roseate Terns. So, for a Greek or Turkish birder, a trip to Britain to see our many seabirds would be equally exciting!
