Weir Wood Reservoir My first Willow Warbler and Common Terns of 2026

Tuesday 21st April 2026
Weir Wood Reservoir

During our regular reptile survey today, we were treated to the sight of two Common Terns sweeping gracefully over the reservoir, circling near the rafts - my first encounter with them this year.

Later, on the way to Whillets, the clear, lilting song of a Willow Warbler drifted from the hedgerow, the bird perched high in the tall trees lining the roadside. A classic sound of spring, and always a welcome one.

New species for the 2026 Year List:

140  Common Tern

141  Willow Warbler
