Arctic Tern, KGV Reservoir

I had no plans to go birding this morning until Brian suggested a quick trip to the local reservoir. We walked along the east side of the south basin, passing the sailing club hut and heading towards the causeway. As we approached Brian spotted a tern in the distance. As we got nearer we could see it was a juvenile Arctic Tern. A late but very welcome year tick. 

It spent much of its time flying back and forth along the causeway, occasionally resting on the bank after catching a small fish.
