Farmoor 21st May

Black necked Grebes still present on F2 early evening

Probable Whiskered Tern early evening seen briefly but looked good.
Picked up as it flew over the western end of F2 and the causeway 
before dropping out of sight below the horizon. Despite subsequent
searching there was unfortunately and frustratingly no further sign.
