First tern of the year at the res.

Dave Helliar found the first common tern of the year at Chard res yesterday, a good sign if ever there was one. Terns at the res in the spring are pretty uncommon at the best of times so let's hope this is an indicator of how good things are going to be this year - ever optimistic!
