Really nice day with Jeanette and Geoff

 4th May 


 Gull-billed Tern

Although the elements were against us first thing in the morning, heavy dark clouds and spitting with rain very low light levels and a change of plan from the Mountains of Montnegra to the local area, Jeanette seemed to have a plan so Geoff and I just went with it. Good job because it paid off

Three very good birders has its benefits in what gets seen and with a big chunk of luck
