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.

The view across the reservoir from Watery Lane shows one of two boats with people fishing in the rain. The right hand edge shows the causeway across the reservoir that carries the B5013. As we drove across the causeway and also whilst we stopped to take the photo there were large numbers of Swift swooping low over the water. I presume they were catching insects to stock up their body reserves after the long migration from Africa.
