Spotted: Black Tern
A Black Tern has been spotted this morning over the wetlands, marking a rare first record for the reserve. The bird can be viewed clearly from Diageo Hide, offering visitors an unexpected chance to see a species that usually passes through on migration. Black Terns are agile feeders that catch insects in flight and are not commonly seen in this region.
This sighting adds an exciting moment to the day for anyone visiting the hide.
