Monday 5th June 2006  
  The prize find today was an adult Whiskered Tern at Loch of Skene, Aberdeenshire. Found late afternoon the bird showed well before departing southwards mid evening. Meanwhile, on Anglesey, the tern - widely believed to be a Cayenne Tern - continued to incubate eggs at Cemlyn Lagoon.

A singing Short-toed Lark made a brief appearance at Tacumshin, Co Wexford where the Night Heron remains.

Elsewhere, a widespread scattering of Black Terns were noted along with typical late spring migrants such as Red-backed Shrikes and Temminck's Stints.
