Caspian tern, Southfield Reservoir

Photo: Caspian tern.

On my way back from Bempton Cliffs I still had time to call in at Southfield reservoir where fortunately the Caspian tern was present and showing well (whatever my photos may tell you!). Amazingly there have occasionally been two birds present. 

Caspian terns are fabulous birds, this was only my third in the UK but I've seen lots abroad, including Florida, Portugal, Australia and New Zealand.
