I dropped Ellie off at choir practice and took advantage of a pleasant evening to pop up to the reservoir. I drove straight down to the southern end and parked up. There were a good number of Swallows feeding with a few Sand Martins, and a single House Martin.
A pair of Mandarin flew from the vegetation up towards the north of the reservoir as a Grey Heron flew south. Three Buzzards were in the air, taking the opportunity to stretch their wings whilst the rain held off. Five Wigeon were also present, as was a Little Grebe.
Back at West Pool there were ten Tufted Ducks and a pair of Pochard. A Green Woodpecker also flew over. As time was limited I headed off after a pretty good three quarters of an hour.
