If you play bird poker, this is a great pair to have… Although not as good as a Royal Thrush, obviously. #birds #ukbirding #birdsseenin2026 #birdpoker #arctictern #americanblacktern #longnanny #northumberlandbirding #northumberland

My train trip to Northumberland (via London for a work reunion) brought me Sandwich, Little, Arctic, Roseate Common and Black Tern (unfortunately not Bridled) along with Puffin. Good times.

American Black Tern (Chlidonias niger surinamensis), Long Nanny, Northumberland.
A train trip to Northumberland took me to, amongst other places, Long Nanny where this returning visitor brought me much pleasure. This year she has mated with an Arctic Tern and produced three eggs which are due to hatch (if they are viable) shortly. A subspecies of the Black Tern and another beautiful bird. A history of the bird can be found here: https://www.birdguides.com/articles/britain-ireland/american-black-tern-summers-in-northumberland/ #AmericanBlackTern #UKBirding #Birding #Birds #Northumberland #LongNanny #Nature #Wildlife #NikonP1000 #P1000
