Roseate Tern at Guadalhorce

22.00, Antonio Tamayo has just phoned to say that he and some others had seen an adult Roseate Tern on the old river at the Guadalhorce ponds this afternoon, along with a Slender-billed Gull (presumably the same as yesterday when I was there but I didn't blog the trip as there was nothing new). I had two or three spring records of this rare species (it is a description bird in Spain) back in the early 80s. I was going to the ponds tomorrow morning, so there's an added incentive to see if the bird is still around. The photo is by Antonio.
