With a long weekend after a week of nights the chance to get out & about looking for newly returned migrants soon had me over at Shustoke Reservoir searching the 2nd winter Kittiwake was still showing at the west end...

Whilst a walk round the reservoir added a single Sand Martin & 2 Swallow before being alerted to the fact a Black Tern was gracing Draycote Water, 1/2 hr later myself & Bobby D were soon watching it a nice find & early considering how late everything else seems to be!!! I soon moved on with 2 Yellow Wagtail,1 White Wagtail,2 House Martin,Sand Martin & several Swallow along the bank with a Peregrine overhead!!
