A bloody great surprise in the shape of a smart Juv. Black Tern at Grimsbury Reservoir (Banbury) after work this evening in cloudy, migrant-friendly conditions. Spent most of the time feeding over the water, however eventually landed on the jetty showing great for a good 20 mins. Bang on, great start to my 2 weeks off work!
Also had the ever present LRP & Common Sand. as well as a single Willow Warbler, a handful of Sand Martins, approx 50 Swallows and the 3 Common Terns.
