New bird for Billy.

 
A good August at Farmoor with some good birds found, the rarest being a White-winged Black Tern which was found on the 11th and stayed just the day. More exciting for me were the Shags found by Stuart on Sunday which was a patch tick for Billy.This takes his Farmoor life list to 164 seen since March 2012. Other noteworthy birds seen in this period include Little Tern, Grey Plover, 14 Black Tern, 3 Marsh Harriers and a Caspian Gull.
