Staines Reservoirs

Another gloomy cold evening in Staines but the skies were full of hirundines.  Common Swift swooping low over the causeway, Swallow in large groups fluttering close over the water with small clouds of House Martin and a few Sand Martin.

There were at least two Arctic Tern this evening seen on the North Basin associating with at least 30 Common Tern.  A single Common Sandpiper scampered along the causeway, where later, two Little Ringed Plover were found.
