The Lesser Crested Tern was still present early morning, but left would-be admirers in the lurch by relocating to the Turf, Exminster before giving people the run around as it fed or roosted at distance between Starcross and Lympstone. It eventually returned to Cockwood mid afternoon were it showed well, briefly returning to the Recording Area before heading back towards Lympstone.
After a few hours we finally had good views of the Lesser Crested Tern, it touched down on the shoreline off Cockwood Steps. We watched it for an hour with about 50 other birders. #UKBirding
