Chard Reservoir - Sun 29 Jul

I took Tristan out this afternoon so that Ellie could have a bit of a rest and I decided to pop over to Chard Reservoir for a change of scenery. We had a lovely walk in the afternoon sunshine, but didn't see anything too unusual in the way of birds. A fairly large flock of Long-tailed Tits flew through the trees with a single Marsh Tit keeping them company.
Several House Martins were hawking over the water and just one Sand Martin was also seen. Unlike SBR, there were a good number of Tufted Ducks on the water, probably about two dozen birds. As I had to get Tristan home for 5pm for his tea (not to mention the fact the F1 highlights were also on TV) we headed back home just after 4.30pm.
