Common Terns frequent most of the larger bodies of water during migration. Although none breed in the borough, dispersed juveniles from local colonies (perhaps the Thames, or Wlathamstow) can be seen later in summer lingering in larger numbers around Fairlop, Valentines Park or elsewhere in the borough). During late 2009 the island on the main lake at Fairlop Waters was lowered and gravelled over, to encourage breeding in years to come... watch this space.
