My usual Sunday morning visit to the reservoir after dropping Ellie at church, and I drove straight down to the southern end and took a walk around.
There were loads of duck on the water, including over 115 Teal and more than thirty-five Wigeon. A Peregrine caused rather a stir as it whizzed over the water in an attempt to flush the wildfowl. A couple of Skylarks were calling as they passed overhead and a small flock of six Fieldfares flew south. A male Reed Bunting was seen in the waterside vegetation.
Returning to the car I drove back to the northern causeway where I saw fifteen more Wigeon on West Pool but nothing else of note.
