Blithfield Reservoir A spring evening, dull rainy heavily cloudy weather all day and with a steady south-easterly breeze. Perfect for bringing down passing migrants, and sure enough my 'scope revealed nearly 70 Common/Arctic Terns (of which all I could certainly identify were Arctic) and 3 Black Terns, all beating to and fro low over the water of the north basin.
