A brief visit this morning as we were heading out for a big family lunch, so I only spent about an hour at the reservoir with Tristan whilst Ellie got ready to go out. There were loads of Common Gulls this morning, I counted at least seventy-three individuals, a much higher than normal number. There were also over sixty Cormorants present, including at least three of the Continental race, sinensis.
On West Pool there were four Wigeon and a further sixteen were off the Fishing Lodge. West Pool was also playing host to one of the Great White Egrets.
A quick look from the Canoe Club produced thirty-six Teal and a Great Spotted Woodpecker, and before I knew it time was up and we had to head off.
