The rain eventually stopped late afternoon, so I made a quick visit to Fowlmere before dinner. I only had time to go to the hide and back, yet had two new birds for my reserve list! Probably the last time it will ever happen in one day. Common Tern and Common Sandpiper were both on the mere when I arrived. A female Kingfisher was also seen.
