After messages this afternoon of Black Terns present at Kirkby GP reserve, I had to go and observed 19 present along with the Little Gull still here and c100 Swift. Great sight! They were present mainly on pit North of reserve, but have blogged images of 3 taking a rest. Thanks |

Still at least three Black Terns this morning resting on the island, on the main reserve pit, plus the Little Gull. Between 05:15 and 05:45 in heavy rain. |
