The 1st Pomm is a tadd good! I read somewhere recently ( can't remember where though), that a Little tern was on St.Mary's and created quite a stir with one local stating that he had seen more Fea's than little tern on Scilly!!!

Thanks for taking a look Nigel, there was a september record for Little Tern I think. In all the time I have been going, 13 years I have probably seen 3 Little Tern on the islands, no fea's for me yet, but I am sure it will happen in the future.
