CWP - Black Terns and Grasshoppers

16 May - A couple of visits to CWP this week during the spell of hot, fine spring weather. An early morning and a late evening visit to pit 82 produced not one, but two, reeling Grasshopper warblers - with a couple of perched and flight views that were quite obliging, especially early in the morning. Reed and Sedge Warblers also much in evidence, with singing Cetti's warblers and Cuckoos as a backdrop. The easterlies also resulted in a marked passage of Black Terns, with 4 at pit 57 on 15th and 4 (same?) at pit 74 the following day. Always special birds to see, very graceful and striking with their jet back summer plumage.
