WHITLINGHAM: Missed Tern, new sawfly.

16th May 2021

Following the amazing find of a Caspian Tern at UEA Broad, Justin Lansdell managed to see the same bird briefly at Whitlingham. Unfortunately it didn't seem to take a liking to the latter site, heading along the broad and back to UEA. I given this flying about I spent an hour or so at Whitlingham in the hope that it would return, but sadly it didn't. Whilst there I noted a brood of six Canada goslings and three Greylag goslings, whilst the sawfly Monsoma pulverentum was new for me, and St George's Mushroom (Calocybe gambosa) was new for the site.
