A lovely evening and Ellie and I fancied a bit of fresh air but couldn't be bothered to travel any distance so we simply popped up to the reservoir for an hour. It was much quieter than last night, but the Little Egret was again present opposite the hide and a total of ten Grey Herons were also about.
Three Tufted Ducks flew in from the north and there was a gathering of nearly forty Mallards, most of which were entering eclipse plumage. The only other bird of note was a singing Reed Bunting.
A couple of late flying Common Blue butterflies and a single Meadow Brown were also seen.
