I've just had a look at Birdguides' map, it seems that Black Terns have been recorded at, at least, 45 different sites today  Farthest North, Cumbria; farthest West, Herefordshire.
Worth getting down to your local wetland reserve tomorrow, I'm off to Trimley

Worth getting down to your local wetland reserve tomorrow, I'm off to Trimley | Saw one Black Tern this morning on a local reservoir (up to 13 were seen there yesterday).
Conditions are still perfect for Black Tern passage so if you want to see them get down to a local reservoir/ gravel pit/ large lake or power station cooling system outflow. It is likely that most of them will move through fairly quickly, with each band or rain likely to bring new birds. I intend to be watching the reservoir tomorrow when the next main lot of rain is forecast to pass over the south-east (sometimes it's worth getting wet!).

Roy. | Good luck Roy....I hope you get as good a view as we did! and yes it's well worth a wetting to see them isn't it! | | | |
