At least 7 Black Tern(Although Keith Robinson had at least 10 before i arrived)
4 Arctic Tern
2 Common Tern
6 Common Sandpiper
2 Dunlin
1 Sum plum. Spotted Redshank,which quickly disappeared,no doubt realising how windy it was. :shock:

50 Swallow
5 Sand Martin
1 1st summer Hobby(Watched chasing the Swifts and Hirundines and also sat on the east bank of the reservoir on the grass bank,giving cracking views through the scope).

But according to RBA it was later turned into a Black Tern. The Covenham bird was unmistakable.

I wasn't aware of that,i don't doubt it wasn't mistakeable.
