A late afternoon trip with Tristan up the reservoir today and it was very cold. As a result we did not stay out very long. There was nothing at all of note from the hide so I concentrated my efforts on the reservoir from the northern causeway. The West Pool held a Little Grebe, a flock of fifty Wigeon and thirteen Tufted Ducks.
The gull numbers on the main reservoir were extremely high, with well over five hundred Black-headed Gulls and Herring Gulls being in to three figures also. At least twenty Common Gulls were also present. A calling Kingfisher alerted me to a Sparrowhawk as it drifted over the road and with the light failing I called it a day.
