A late morning visit today and it produced a few birds of note. I went for a walk at the southern end of the reservoir. A couple of Snipe were flushed from the water's edge and two Roe Deer bolted from the undergrowth, making me jump a little! A Marsh Tit was calling away and eventually showed itself whilst seven Wigeon and a handful of Teal were also seen. A Sparrowhawk drifted overhead and a total of forty Great Crested Grebes were present today.
Returning to the car I drove up to the northern end of the reservoir where a Little Grebe was seen briefly before it vanished in to the reeds when spooked by a fishing Cormorant and a Reed Bunting was singing away...a sign that spring is on the way?
